My grandmother passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in West Dean. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £4500. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to TSB, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
If you plan to re-mortgage then TSB will insist on your using a conveyancer on the TSB 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 TSB 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 TSB mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in West Dean. The West Dean property was put into my name in July. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nationwide are being a right pain. The West Dean solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Nationwide are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide 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.
