My grandmother passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Rawdon and Yeadon. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £4500. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to TSB, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you plan to re-mortgage then TSB will insist on your using a conveyancer on the TSB 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 TSB 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 TSB mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a garden flat in Rawdon and Yeadon. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Rawdon and Yeadon?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am being advised by my lawyer that lack of planning permission insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Rawdon and Yeadon conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Halifax and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Rawdon and Yeadon. The Rawdon and Yeadon property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I'm buying my first flat in Rawdon and Yeadon with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Rawdon and Yeadon and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides protection to commercial lessees, giving them the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon
