My aunt passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Tremeirchion. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £4500. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Skipton, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you intend to refinance then Skipton will require that you use a conveyancer on the Skipton 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 Skipton 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 Skipton mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

Our offer on a property in Tremeirchion has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Tremeirchion. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Lloyds started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Tremeirchion conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Lloyds approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to press on with searches.

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. 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.
