My grandfather passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Carisbrooke. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £4500. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Clydesdale, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
If you intend to re-mortgage then Clydesdale will require that you use a conveyancer on the Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
I am purchasing a new build house in Carisbrooke benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

How much is the yearly maintenance fee and ground rent? Many Carisbrooke leasehold apartments will be liable to pay a service bill for maintenance of the building levied on behalf of the landlord. If you purchase the flat you will have to meet this charge, usually quarterly accross the year. This can differ from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built blocks. In all likelihood there will be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, ordinarily this is not a significant amount, say around £25-£75 but you need to check it because occasionally it could be surprisingly expensive. Best to be warned whether redecorating or some other significant cost is coming up that will be shared between the tenants and may well materially increase the the service fees or require a one off invoice.
