My grandmother passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Swiss Cottage. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £5k. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to TSB, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Given you intend to refinance then TSB will require that you use 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.
We are planning on selling our home in Swiss Cottage and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Swiss Cottage. We have lived in Swiss Cottage for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Swiss Cottage I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Swiss Cottage in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
My cousin has recommend that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Swiss Cottage. Do I take his advice?
There are no two ways about it it’s preferable to find a conveyancing solicitor is to have referrals from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor that you are are thinking of instructing.
