My wife and I intend to remortgage our penthouse in Wilford with Nationwide. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. 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 apartment is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Nationwide conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 3 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 Nationwide. This is solely used to protect Nationwide 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 Nationwide 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.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Wilford. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Wilford?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Wilford. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I was pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Wilford to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your site over and above another?
We don’t give any commission for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandmother I am selling a property in Cardiff but reside in Wilford. My lawyer (approximately 235 miles awayrequires that I execute a stat dec before the transaction finalising.

Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Wilford based
