Snap - just brought my ex out so now I am financially significantly poorer, the mortgage is now much, much longer (and maxed out) but monthly repayments are lower.
I was £800 in legal fees. There was a concern that as was leasehold might have to notify the freeholder but there was a legal work around to save monies.
It did need a lawyer to make the changes for some reason though, didn't think it was possible to do directly, it might have been something to do with the mortgage.
I used a regional lawyer from Chester so doesn't need to be London based
Good news - I have the house in my sole name - woohoo
Bad news - level of deb to maximum but worth it getting rid of PITA ex

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.
