My aunt completed her conveyancing in West Beckton in 2005. She has been married, divorced and has recently married again. She now wants to the sell the West Beckton property. I think she will just be requested to provide a copy of the marriage papers to the conveyancing practitioner however she is worried it could hold up the sale of the house. Should she instruct a conveyancer to update the title details for the property?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the title for the property on the basis that you have the proof needed to show how the change of name resulted.
The buyer’s conveyancing practitioner will check the title entries and ask for evidence to prove the name change e.g. marriage certificates.
