My grandmother passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Haringey. 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 Co-operative, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Given you intend to refinance then Co-operative will require that you use a conveyancer on the Co-operative 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 Co-operative 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 Co-operative mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Haringey building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Haringey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the bank panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Haringey.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Haringey conveyancer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
