My aunt passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Longthorpe. 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 HSBC, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?

Given you plan to refinance then HSBC will insist on your using a conveyancer on the HSBC 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.

I own a renovated Georgian property in Longthorpe. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. 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). It is not completely unheard of in Longthorpe and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.

I have been pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Longthorpe to find a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t make any financial incentive for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Longthorpe. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as usual because all rents and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

Longthorpe Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should ask Prior to buying

    Please note if it is fewer than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the flat. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension at some point and it is worth finding out what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have been the owner of the property for two years before you are legally able to extend the lease. Make sure you enquire if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. By way of example it is fairly common in Longthorpe leases that pets are not allowed in in a block in Longthorpe. If you like the flatin Longthorpe but your cat is not allowed to live with you then you will be faced hard decision. Who is in charge of the block?
