Traditionally, this meant lengthy solicitor processes, paperwork, and delays. But today, there’s a faster option: a digital quick deed transfer.

Yes. If a property was owned jointly during your marriage, you’ll usually need to update the title deeds after divorce. This ensures HM Land Registry reflects the correct ownership, whether one spouse keeps the property or it’s transferred.
The process involves completing a transfer deed (TR1 form), getting it signed, and submitting it to HM Land Registry. If a court order is part of your divorce settlement, it will need to be attached. A solicitor-backed service like Property Swift’s Quick Deed Transfer makes this process fully digital and stress-free.
Yes, in most cases. If both of you are named on the title, your ex-partner’s signature is required on the deed. However, if there’s a court order, the transfer must proceed as ordered, even without consent.
If the property has a mortgage, you’ll need your lender’s consent before updating ownership. The lender may require a remortgage or transfer of equity if one party takes over responsibility for the loan.
Traditional solicitor processes can take weeks or months due to paperwork and communication delays. With a digital deed transfer, the process can be completed much faster — often in just days (subject to Land Registry timescales).
You can complete the forms and submit them directly to HM Land Registry, but mistakes are common and often cause delays. A solicitor-backed digital service ensures everything is legally correct and avoids rejection.
