What Does “Change of Name on Property Deeds” Mean?
A Change of Name is a legal update to the information held on your property’s title register.
Common reasons include:
- Marriage (adding your married name)
- Divorce (reverting to a previous name)
- Deed poll name changes
- Spelling corrections or administrative errors
- Updating outdated or inconsistent identification data
Once updated, HM Land Registry will issue an amended title showing your correct legal name.
This ensures your identity, ownership, and legal documents are all aligned.
