Common Reasons to Update a Title
This service typically covers the following situations.
Marriage or Divorce
Your legal name or the ownership structure on title may need updating to reflect your current status.
Legal Name Change
If you’ve changed your name by deed poll or other legal means, your title should match your current identification.
Correcting an Error
Sometimes a title simply contains outdated or incorrect information that needs formal correction.
Updating Tenancy Details
Changing how a property is held — for example, from joint tenants to tenants in common — is also handled through this process.
“Byford Settlements provided an easy and stress-free process for us. From the first phone call to the end, their friendly service has been a pleasure to deal with.”
Common Questions
Straight answers to what people ask us before updating a title.
What documents do I need to change my name on a title?
Generally you’ll need evidence of the name change — such as a marriage certificate or change of name certificate — along with identification. We’ll confirm exactly what’s required for your situation.
How long does a change of title take?
Once all required documents are provided, Landgate processing times typically apply — we’ll keep you updated on progress throughout.
Can you update tenancy details at the same time?
Yes — if you’re also changing how the property is held (for example, adding or removing a joint owner), we can manage that as part of the same update where applicable.
Is a change of title the same as a full settlement?
No — a change of title updates existing ownership records without a property sale taking place, whereas a settlement involves the legal transfer of ownership between a buyer and seller.
