My flat in Ferryhill is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my lawyer need to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.

How does conveyancing in Ferryhill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Ferryhill contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Ferryhill typically buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ferryhill or who has acted in the same development.
How does one as executor remove a deceased person's details from the title deeds for a property in Ferryhill?
If a Ferryhill property is co-owned and one of the owners dies, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a sale your lawyer would just be required to supply proof why the other proprietor is missing from the contract, usually this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things more straight forward for the sale of the property you can arrange to have the deceased party removed from the title entries by applying to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
