I think it's two separate things - getting your wife on the mortgage (which the bank will do for free, probably), and getting the deeds changed, which the bank won't do for you. Should be quite straightforward with a solicitor for <£500 I would've thought.
Seem to remember one is reliant on the other, can't remember which way round it is though.

Doing the opposite (me buying other half out) is costing around £500 in solicitor stuff. Maybe £750 in total. The bank will ask you to get your own solicitor, I'm fairly sure.
I think the "transfer of deeds" bit is around £350 but there are some extras.

You can do it with a form from the land registry but via a solicitor is probably less stressful
If you have a mortgage on it then yeah the bank needs to know all this and they might get shirty
I (still) need to get round to doing this so when you find a solicitor send them my way

Has anyone ever transfered sole ownership of their home to joint ownership with their spouse? Bought my flat before we were married and would like to get her on. It it just a matter of contacting the bank and they will sort out a solictor to do the deeds I presume? Will it cost much in fees?
