I suspect that she will just be requested to provide a copy of her marriage certificates to the property lawyer however she is concerned it could delay the house move. Should she instruct a property lawyer to update the title details for the house?

It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the title for the property providing you have the proof needed to show how the name change has come about.

The buyer’s property lawyer will review the registered information and require evidence to prove the change of name e.g. marriage documentation.
