My fiance and I intend to remortgage our penthouse in Holmrook with Virgin Money. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Virgin Money conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 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 Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money. This is solely used to protect Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money 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.

Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Holmrook agreed to, the sellers do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Holmrook. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Holmrook conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to press on with searches.
I have justbecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Holmrook for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Holmrook conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Holmrook I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Holmrook for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
