My uncle passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Wanstead. The house had a small mortgage remaining of approximately £8000. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Co-operative, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?

Where you intend to refinance 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 planning to move home in February. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Wanstead. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the estate agent but this should only be done when the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Wanstead or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Wanstead.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Wanstead conveyancing practitioners are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore done the valuation? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

The mortgage over my property is with Santander for my property in Wanstead. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Santander?

Your original mortgage agreement with Santander will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Santander directly. You need not do this via a Santander conveyancing panel firm.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Wanstead and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Wanstead lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Wanstead. Having lived in Wanstead for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

I am a sole trader looking to lease a unit on a shopping parade. Can you recommend lawyers offering no-move-no fees for commercial conveyancing in Wanstead for under £1,200?

Whether you are intending to purchase or dispose of a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail unit or a complete business we will put you in touch with the right lawyer.

Let us have your contact information or call us so that we may provide you with a fixed commercial conveyancing calculation.

My sealed bid on property in Wanstead has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have submitted an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Wanstead. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?

It is standard to have concerns where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Wanstead conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to press on with searches.
