My fiance and I intend to remortgage our apartment in Kingsley with Coventry BS. 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, 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 Coventry BS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his rights to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS. This is solely used to protect Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS 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.
At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Kingsley and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Kingsley you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Kingsley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Kingsley. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Kingsley?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Kingsley. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
How can we tell if a Kingsley conveyancing solicitor on the HSBC panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Kingsley getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
I am expecting a AIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Kingsley solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Kingsley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Kingsley will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Kingsley.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Kingsley I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Kingsley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
