My aunt passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Rise Park. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £8000. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Coventry BS, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Given you intend to re-mortgage then Coventry BS will require that you use 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. Your Coventry 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 Coventry BS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Rise Park. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Rise Park?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

We had selected conveyancers located in Rise Park on the Nationwide solicitor panel. They have just billed me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Nationwide mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Nationwide?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Nationwide but by your Rise Park conveyancer. Some firms on the Nationwide panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I have recentlyfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Rise Park for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can make 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 Rise Park conveyancing specialists.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Rise Park I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Rise Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
