My aunt passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Kingsdown. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to TSB, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
If you intend to re-mortgage then TSB will require that you use 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.

Me and my wife have recently had an offer accepted on our 1st home in Kingsdown, and are about to get solicitors instructed. I have used the various comparison tools and the results are from all over the England and Wales. Is it critical to have a Kingsdown property lawyer local to your potential new home? I am content to do everything over email, but I assume at some stage we will need to visit the conveyancer's office to sign contracts?
On the whole there is no need to attend the office of your conveyancer, they can send any relevant contracts to you, which you can sign and return. Many buyers and sellers choose to instruct a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means a prerequisite for conveyancing in Kingsdown.
