If you own a house or flat in your own name, you must change your name on the proprietorship register at the district land registry where your property is registered.

You need to forward a covering letter stating the address of your property together with the registered title number of the property concerned and enclose a certified copy of your Statutory Declaration. If your property is mortgaged then you must also inform your building society or mortgagee.

If you are not sure where your property is registered you should contact the solicitor who handled the purchase of the house for you as they will generally know which registry you should contact.
