My partner and I changing mortgage lender for our penthouse in Chipping Barnet with Aldermore. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. 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 document specific to the Aldermore conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong 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 Aldermore. This is solely used to protect Aldermore 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 Aldermore 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.
Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Chipping Barnet costs more?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Chipping Barnet and elsewhere usually necessitates extra due diligence compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes reviewing the lease, liaising with the landlord about the service of appropriate notices, procuring current service charge and management information, procuring the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first entered into.
Just bought a detached house in Chipping Barnet , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Chipping Barnet conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Chipping Barnet is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies.

Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

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.

HMLR as a matter of law required to note price sold information on the official title for residential properties nationwide which includes homes in Chipping Barnet. The Title Register is a public document, so HMLR would be breaking the law if they failed to permit access to the register.
In essence you can make a request of the Land Registry to withhold the price paid data however the response will be in the negative.
