My fiance and I changing mortgage lender for our penthouse in Rutland with RBS. 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. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the RBS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his rights to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong 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 RBS. This is solely used to protect RBS 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 RBS 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.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Rutland. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Rutland - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

For most Rutland leaseholds the outlay for major works are not included within maintenance charges, although some managing agents in Rutland obliged leasehold owners to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger repairs or maintenance. Is anyone aware of any major works in the near future that will increase the service costs? Does the lease have more than 82 years remaining?
