My husband and I intend to remortgage our flat in Bardsley with TSB. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the TSB conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 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 TSB 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 TSB. This is solely used to protect TSB 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 TSB 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.

Just bought a semi-detached house in Bardsley , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Bardsley conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Bardsley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
