My uncle passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Chepstow. The house had a relatively small loan 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 intend to refinance then TSB will insist on your using 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.

I am aiming to move home in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Chepstow. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the selling agent but this should only occur after the vendors solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Chepstow or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Chepstow.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Chepstow building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Chepstow conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the property lawyer is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
