In the event another name is to added as a joint owner your husband has to make a release deed adding you name and this will attract Stamp duty plus regitration fees. I cannot say how much, but that will be between 1% to 3% of the value of the property plus registration expences.

Your husband can get your name added by way of Gift deed in respect of Half portion and also by way of release deed and in both cases stamp duty and registration charges.So your husband is right.The cost can be higher also.
