changing names on the house deeds

hello everyone,

I'm in a position at the moment where the deeds and mortgage for my
house are in joint names with my mom but she doesn't live at the
property or pay any in towards the mortgage. I want to raise some
cash for home improvements and am considering remortgaging and thought
it would be a good opportunity to sort out all her paperwork so it is
only my name to it on the deeds.

after doing a little research I believe changing details on an
existing mortgage is pretty straightforward but can anyone tell me how
complex it is to change names on deeds and roughly what fees are
involved and who I need to pay them to?

The only other relevant information I can think of is that it's an ex-
council house but we have owned the property for at least five
yearsand I am also married.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

.
