My husband and I are refinancing our penthouse in Clarbeston Road with Principality. We have a son 19 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 apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Principality conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 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 Principality. This is solely used to protect Principality 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 Principality 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.

I have instructed a Clarbeston Road conveyancing solicitor for our home move (FTB’s) and have picked up in the terms and conditions that they are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Need I be concerned or is that standard with solicitor?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. They will be governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate stringent laws regulating monies sitting by them.
