Me and my husband are buying residence in Tadcaster. My Conveyancer is not listed on the bank approved list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Tadcaster conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel?
You have numerous options available to you here
- Proceed with your chosen Tadcaster conveyancing practitioner but your mortgage company will no doubt retain a conveyancer on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees and probable frustration.
- Get a new lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to apply to join the lender panel
My fiance and I intend to remortgage our flat in Tadcaster with Coventry BS. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify 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 flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right 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 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.
