Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ashton under Lyne

I am acquiring a leasehold flat in Ashton under Lyne. My property lawyer has never been on on the lender conveyancing list. Can I still retain my Ashton under Lyne conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

You must use a solicitor to complete the legal work required if you need a mortgage to purchase your home.

One may appoint a Ashton under Lyne solicitor of your choice.

My partner and I swapping mortgage lender for our flat in Ashton under Lyne with Kent Reliance. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your Kent Reliance conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Kent Reliance. This is solely used to protect Kent Reliance if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Kent Reliance had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
