My partner and I changing mortgage lender for our penthouse in Chulmleigh with Kent Reliance. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose 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 property is repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

Most buyers of new build residence in Chulmleigh contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Chulmleigh tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.
