My grandfather passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in West Dulwich. 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 Coventry BS, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?

Where you plan to refinance then Coventry BS will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Coventry BS 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 am the sole recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in West Dulwich. The West Dulwich property was put into my name in May. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

Is it correct that all West Dulwich CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Barclays conveyancing panel?

Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
