My ex -wife’s name is on the Kensington Mortgage mortgage of my property but not on the land registry. The apartment was transferred to me on our divorce many years ago by way of a sealed court order.

In terms of the Kensington Mortgage mortgage, it is unusual that your ex-wife’s name remains on the mortgage but not on the title. It is conceivable that this is an oversight on the part of your conveyancers to ensure that her name was removed or even an administrative error on the part of Kensington Mortgage in failing to update their data. In any event, it should cause difficulty providing her name no longer appears on the Land Registry title and you have a court order ordering that the property is transferred to you.
