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

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 Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
