My uncle passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Peterlee. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £5k. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Bank of Ireland, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?

If you intend to refinance then Bank of Ireland will require that you use a conveyancer on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Bank of Ireland mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

How does conveyancing in Peterlee differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Peterlee contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Peterlee typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Peterlee or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Peterlee is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Peterlee are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Peterlee you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Peterlee may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I'm refinancing my primary home to a BTL loan with Bank of Scotland and intend to use the remaining equity towards another property. The location we are talking about is Peterlee. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two banks and tie in the two deals?

Make use of our comparison tool on this page to ensure that the solicitors are on the appropriate lender panels. On the basis that they are the lawyer should be able to connect the two deals but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and make apparent your desired outcome and requirements.

Am I better off to choose a Peterlee conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? An old friend can carry out the conveyancing however his firm is located over three hundred kilometers away.

The benefit of a high street Peterlee conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were impressed that must outweigh using an unknown Peterlee conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
