My uncle passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Brondesbury. The house had a small mortgage remaining of approximately £4500. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to TSB, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Given you plan to refinance then TSB will require that you use a conveyancer on the TSB 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 TSB 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 TSB mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
My partner and I are selling our home in Brondesbury and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Brondesbury lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Brondesbury. We have lived in Brondesbury for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
The deeds to our home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Brondesbury 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to establish that you own the land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Brondesbury ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to issue a mortgage on such a home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Brondesbury.
