My uncle passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Tintagel. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £4500. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to RBS, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Given you plan to refinance then RBS will require that you use a conveyancer on the RBS 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 RBS 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 RBS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Tintagel 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Tintagel conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Tintagel do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. 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 consent.

Its a good idea to discover as much as possible about the managing agents as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are frequently at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to day to day matters such as the upkeep of the common parts. Enquire of prospective neighbours whether they are happy with their service. On a final note, find out the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the managing agents and specifically how they are spending that money. The best form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this situation the lessees have being in charge if their destiny and although a managing agent is often employed where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves.
