You must instruct a property lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you require a loan to purchase your property. The property lawyer will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. You could instruct a Gunnersbury lawyer of your choosing. However, where the conveyancing practitioner selected is not a member of the lender conveyancing panel additional fees will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not previously applied for membership they should do so.

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

You can also question the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

Should one remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a house in Gunnersbury?
Where a Gunnersbury property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not automatically 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 as to the reason the co owner is not included in the conveyance, normally this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making things simpler for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased party erased from the title by submitting an application to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
