My husband and I are refinancing our penthouse in Truro with Yorkshire BS. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 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 property is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 4 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 Yorkshire BS. This is solely used to protect Yorkshire 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 Yorkshire 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.

There are a number of properties in Truro on private lanes. We are buying such a house. What are the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a house on a privately owned road?
Truro conveyancing practices will be familiar with dealing houseson private. The conveyancer will investigate Land Registry data to find any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that proprietors make annual contributions for the upkeep of the road. Where one exists, the road will likely be maintained and appear nicer than publicly owned.
