My grandmother passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Wooburn Green. The house had a small mortgage remaining of approximately £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Coventry BS, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
If you intend to re-mortgage then Coventry BS will require that you use a conveyancer on the Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a garden flat in Wooburn Green. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Wooburn Green?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Wooburn Green. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
Can you help - my lawyer says that chancel insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Wooburn Green conveyancing?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
