I went with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Groby and Ratby recently. Upon checking the terms of engagement I noteI am on the hook for fees even if the movedoes not happen. Should I ditch them and select an internet conveyancing company offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Groby and Ratby?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset the transactions that abort. Do bear in mind that such offerings tend not to cover expenses for instance Groby and Ratby conveyancing search expenses.
My partner and I changing mortgage lender for our penthouse in Groby and Ratby with Clydesdale. We have a son 19 who lives at home. 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, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale. This is solely used to protect Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale 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.
