My partner and I intend to remortgage our maisonette in Beckermet with TSB. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this document specific to the TSB conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights 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.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Beckermet. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Beckermet?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Beckermet. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Beckermet conveyancing lawyers were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Co-operative conducted the valuation? Have you advised Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Beckermet. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Beckermet.
I am purchasing a new build house in Beckermet benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it would affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Beckermet is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
