My partner and I intend to remortgage our flat in Bispham with Nottingham. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this form unique to the Nottingham conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Nottingham 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 Nottingham. This is solely used to protect Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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.
we are a couple who intend to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Bispham with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires.We would like to retain our Bispham conveyancing practitioner but Birmingham Midshires advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Birmingham Midshires panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Birmingham Midshires panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Birmingham Midshires approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Birmingham Midshires
