Remove my ex from our house

[ian1980]

I have split up from my ex and need to get her legally removed from the deeds on our house.

We have agreed a settlement figure and I have the cash to buy her out straight away.  I have been told that if I go to the solicitor they can provide me with a letter which my partner can sign and along with removing them from the deeds through the land registry completely remove her interest in the property.  Is it as simple as that?

Also we are both still on the mortgage, do I have to inform the mortgage company that she no longer has an interest on the house as I plan to take out a new mortgage with a different company once the introductory period finishes (in a couple of months) as I don't want to get charged to remove her from the mortgage only to cancel in a few months.
