I have a mortgage with Loughborough Building Society. My uncle retired last week and wants to pay off my mortgage. After Loughborough Building Society is paid, I want to transfer the property to my mother's name; How long will it roughly take? Do we need two separate solicitors on the Loughborough Building Society conveyancing panel? I do not intend to live at the property once the Loughborough Building Society mortgage is discharged.
Although you do need to retain the services of a lawyer they dont need to be on the Loughborough Building Society panel. You will need a solicitor to draw up the transfer and to deal with the Land Registry formalities. The only thing you need to consider is that by selling at an undervalue so ask your lawyer about the implications. There could be an inheritance tax issue if you die within 7 years of this. As the property is your main residence you need not pay CGT but you should speak with your accountants in any event.
