My grandmother passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Borrowash. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £5k. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to UBS, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you intend to re-mortgage then UBS will insist on your using a conveyancer on the UBS 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 UBS 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 UBS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Borrowash. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal work on the property involve enquiries to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Borrowash can on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or need the permission of another owner. Certain extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Nottingham as we intend to conduct improvements to our house in Borrowash. Do we need to choose a high street Borrowash solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Nottingham would not normally appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Borrowash differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Borrowash come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Borrowash tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Borrowash or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Borrowash is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Borrowash are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Borrowash you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Borrowash may decide 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.
