My wife and I intend to remortgage our apartment in Piccadilly with Skipton. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Skipton conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his entitlement to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Skipton 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 Skipton. This is solely used to protect Skipton 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 Skipton 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 am assisting my niece sell her house in Piccadilly. Does the conveyancer arrange an energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?
Following the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s was kept a required part of selling a property. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market. It is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are using a Piccadilly conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local energy assessors
Intending to buy a house in Piccadilly. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Piccadilly property lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

I'm buying a new build house in Piccadilly with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
