Is it as simple as following the instructions from .gov.uk
We did this earlier in the year for a slightly different land registry matter. Our experience was that following the instructions wasn't as simple as it sounded at first, due to poor form design which is not really optimised for DIY, but it works. You might want legal advice about whether to add her name to the title, but actually doing it doesn't require a professional.

Don't forget your will(s) need updating (or creating).

I want to add Mrs Howard to the title deeds of a flat that I own (no mortgage).
Is it as simple as following the instructions from .gov.uk and any reason why I would need to go down the solicitor route?

Fill in either a ‘transfer of whole of registered title’ form, if you’re transferring your whole property, or a ‘transfer of part of registered title’ form if you’re only transferring part of your property.
