My grandfather passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Luton. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £5k. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Co-operative, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
If you plan to re-mortgage 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.
We are buying a end of terrace house in Luton. We would like to convert the garage to an office at the property.Will the conveyancing process include checks to determine if these alterations were previously refused?
Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Luton can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of alterations or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Many extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I am the single recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Luton. The Luton property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is chiefly there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
