I am buying my first flat in Tadley with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it would jeopardize my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.

How does one as executor remove a deceased person's details from the title register for a property in Tadley?

If a Tadley property is jointly owned and one of the owners passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a disposal your conveyancer would simply be required to supply proof why the co proprietor is not a party to the transfer, ordinarily this takes the form of the probate documents.

With a view to making the sale conveyancing smoother for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased name erased from the title entries by applying to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
