My grandmother passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Plaistow. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £4500. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Co-operative, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?

Given you intend to refinance then Co-operative will require that you use a conveyancer on the Co-operative 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 Co-operative 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 Co-operative mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

We are planning to move house in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Plaistow. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this site.

As you are obtaining a mortgage with HSBC your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to HSBC where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Plaistow.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Plaistow. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £175. Shortly after, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Plaistow. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Plaistow

    Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Plaistow

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Plaistow conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets set by HQ.
