Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Raglan

My fiance and I swapping mortgage lender for our apartment in Raglan with Coventry BS. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish 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.

My husband and I wish to acquire a purpose built flat in Raglan with a homeloan from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We would like to retain our Raglan conveyancing solicitor but Platform Home Loans Ltd says his firm is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd

Should my solicitor be raising questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Raglan.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Raglan. Some people will buy a house in Raglan, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Raglan. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim stemming from an misleading response. A buyer’s lawyers may also commission an enviro search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be carried out.
