  1. Well, it definitely wasn't severed, so I guess the house is totally my dads. I'll have to keep on his good side then lol Thanks for all your advice
  2. According to the Land Registry Site, the tenure of the address is Freehold. I've had a look through the deeds, and on the document relating to my parents purchase of the house it said Lease. Since the land the house is on is rented, is there anywhere else that will show who's name the house is actually in, other than the title deeds which seem to suggest the house is still in both names? I'm now assuming that the mortgage company only removed my mother from their records of who was paying the mortgage. Although I could be wrong in that
  3. Well, I just did the Land Registry thing and the land is owned by someone else. I forgot we pay ground rent every so often
  4. Hiya John, Thanks for that. I paid off the mortgage so that's no longer an issue. Should I pay the 3 quid to the land registry to check what names are registered ?
  5. There is definitely no will and to be honest I didn't even know the divorce had gone through at the time of her death. I've had a quick nose on the Stamp Duty Calculator and that seems to suggest there will be no duty to pay, as the house is in a 'deprived area'. I guess I'll just have to nag my dad into going to see a solicitor and see what happens. Thanks for ur advice and comments
  6. Thanks for your replies. They divorced about a year before she died and due to the fact she didn't return the form the house remained in both of their names. When I rang the mortgage company about her death, they put solely into my dad's name. This was about 2 1/2 years ago and I paid off the remainder of the mortgage about 2 years ago and have got the house deeds, which I've just been looking through and can see no mention of my mothers name being removed, but I guess that's just a side issue. Last time I spoke to him he was willing to get it transferred into my name but that might change once he's spoken to the solicitor, if he ever gets round to it. sorry forgot to add, my mother didn't leave a will
  7. Hiya, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. My mother and father got divorced a few years ago and my father was letting her have the house as part of the divorce settlement. Unfortunately, she didn't return the form to accept this before the divorce went through. She died a year or so later and I contacted the mortgage company to inform them and they then put the house into my fathers name. I've paid the mortgage off since then and the house is still in my fathers name. I asked a solicitor about getting it changed over to my name, which my father has told me he's ok with, but the solicitor said he cannot do anything until he's discussed the implications with my father. This was at least a year ago now and my father hasn't been to see the solictor about it. I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do and if I have any rights of my father changes his mind about signing it over to me. Thanks for any advice
  8. Thanks for your reply, Ali. I am concetrating on finding a new job and have a couple of irons in the fire as we speak. Might just decide to do the work as a freebie, since I can do it in the house at my leisure, so won't interfer with my job seeking :o) I guess once I've got a new job, it'll be alot easier for me to help them out and be classed as self employed, since I can do everything they ask from home. Thanks again for your advice Erika, thanks for your advice too :o)
  9. Hi, Sorry if the title doesn't explain properly, I wasn't sure what to put. I've recently been made redundant and have just started claiming JSA. The company I worked for want me to do some work for them, but it is only about a day work and want me to invoice them for doing it, so I won't actually be employed by them, I will in all essensce be doing the work as self-employed. I'm happy to do this work, but I haven't a clue what I need to do to make this legal, since any money I receive will be paid directly into my bank account. :-? As much as I want to do this work, I don't want to go getting myself a criminal record or anything like that either. There is a chance I will be asked to do more work for them in the future, but again it will only be a day here and there at most. Can anyone please give me some advice ?
