I'm trying to find out how to add my wife onto the deeds of the house.
is it something we can apply to do ourselves through the land registry or do we need to pay a solicitor to deal with it?

thank you for that, of course i didn't know when i posted that your reply was incomplete
i have looked on the ROS website and they themselves state you do not need a solicitor, however it doesn't look like a straightforward process either so i think we will just go down the route of solicitor0 -
