NAME ON MORTGAGE/Deeds

Hi,
I own a house that is currently up for sale but we have not had an offer on it yet. The house and mortgage are soley in my name.
We are also buying a new house. Getting close to the final stage - looking to complete at the end of the month. We are buying the house just in my husband's name thought it easiest.
We then thought when we sell my house and remortgage next year we will just add me to the deeds and mortgage. BUT a friend has told me we will have to pay legal fees to do this and it will be loads of messing.
Can anyone advise and clarify?

You will have to pay some fees. It's normally relatively straightfoward though, if a bit of paperwork.0
