My grandmother passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Blaina. 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 Nationwide, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you plan to re-mortgage then Nationwide will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Nationwide 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 Nationwide 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 Nationwide mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Blaina. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Blaina?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Blaina. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We are planning to move house in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Blaina. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this can only occur when the vendors solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Blaina or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Blaina.
I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Blaina. The Blaina property was put into my name in January. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement chiefly exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Blaina is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Blaina are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Blaina you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Blaina may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Blaina. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as normal because all rents and maintenance payments will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
