Following a divorce I need to arrange for the title deeds on a property to be amended from joint names to the sole name. I have the court order confirming the name so there should not be a stamp duty etc payable.

this happened to me and a solicitor had to handle the paperwork with the mortgage company and the land registry as a transfer of title not a sale/purchase. i had the county court order confirming my legal ownership which the solicitor used for the transfer of title, it cost a couple of hundred pounds i think.
You will need a Solicitor to draft a TR1 for the Transfer of Equity, this will be signed by both parties and your Solicitor will need to prepare an SDLT1 form (HMRC) - he should state "nil" for the Stamp Duty and send a certified copy of the Court Order to Inland Revenue. Also, the Transfer Deed will state (in the money section) "Subject to the terms of a Consent Order dated..... and issued in the.....County Court. Registration is currently taking about 3 weeks.
