My husband and I changing mortgage lender for our flat in Woodcote Green with Nationwide. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose 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 apartment is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this form unique to the Nationwide conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing 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.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Woodcote Green accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Woodcote Green. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Co-operative going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Woodcote Green conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your property lawyer is on the Co-operative approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Co-operative and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
