My aunt passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in West Bridgford. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Santander, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Where you intend to refinance then Santander will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Santander 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 Santander 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 Santander mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
