My uncle passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Longlands. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £4500. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Aldermore, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?

Given you plan to re-mortgage then Aldermore will require that you use 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.

I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Longlands. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. many lenders would take a sensible view as this obligation is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

is it true that all Longlands solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As solicitors, in order to be on the TSB conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the CLC.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Barclays are being problematic. The Longlands solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Longlands with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Am I better off to go with a Longlands conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can perform the legal formalities but his firm is located 300miles away.

The benefit of a high street Longlands conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were happy that should outweigh using an unknown Longlands conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being round the corner.

I wish to let out my leasehold apartment in Longlands. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?

A small minority of properties in Longlands do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I am the proprietor of a ground-floor 1960’s flat in Longlands. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount due for a lease extension?

in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the LVT to arrive at the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Longlands flat is 103a Footscray Road in January 2014. The tribunal determines that the premium payable for the extended lease should be £34,500 according to the expert witness valuation calculation This case was in relation to 1 flat.
