My uncle passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Cullercoats. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £5k. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Aldermore, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you plan to re-mortgage then Aldermore will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Aldermore 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 Aldermore 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 Aldermore mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this should only occur after the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Cullercoats or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Cullercoats.

I am expecting a AIP from Virgin Money this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Cullercoats solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
