My step-mother completed her conveyancing in Askam In Furness in 2005. She has been married, divorced and in recent months got remarried. She wishes to sell the house in a few weeks. I suspect that she will simply be asked to supply copies of her marriage certificates to the property lawyer but she is concerned it will hold up the sale of the house. Is it worth updating the Land Registry documents for the house?

You are not required to bring up to date the register on the basis that you have the evidence needed to demonstrate how the change of name occurred.

Any buyer’s solicitor will review the land registry entries and ask for evidence to prove the name change e.g. marriage certificates.
