My wife and I are refinancing our flat in Truro with Clydesdale. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. 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 repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his entitlement 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 Clydesdale. This is solely used to protect Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale 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 lot of houses in Truro on private lanes. We are acquiring such a house. What would be the pros and cons of buying a property on a privately owned road?
Truro conveyancing lawyers will be well versed in dealing houseson private. Your property lawyer should review the Land Registry data to identify any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a residents association that residents make annual contributions for the upkeep of the road. If there is one, the road should be maintained and look better than publicly owned.
