My uncle passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Frizington. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Santander, 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.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Frizington. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Frizington?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Frizington and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Frizington conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Frizington. Having lived in Frizington for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must enquire of 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 ailment)
I have justbeen informed that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Frizington for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Frizington conveyancing specialists.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Frizington
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Frizington conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by HQ.
