I am under pressure from the mortgagee in possession of a property in Grassendale to exchange within four weeks. What can be done to expedite the conveyancing process?
First, If you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local contacts and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they may have conducted otherhomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Grassendale conveyancing solicitor. In addition, double check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is estimated that 18% of Grassendale conveyancing transactions are frustrated or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their banks member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is estimated that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home moves annually. Almost all Grassendale conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check at the outset.
My aunt passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Grassendale. The house had a small mortgage remaining of approximately £5k. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Principality, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Where you intend to refinance then Principality will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Principality 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 Principality 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 Principality 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 ground floor flat in Grassendale. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Grassendale?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am expecting a OIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Grassendale solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Grassendale solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
Just acquired a terraced house in Grassendale , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Grassendale conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Grassendale registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Grassendale is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Grassendale are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Grassendale you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Grassendale may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
