My husband and I swapping mortgage lender for our maisonette in Aberporth with Principality. 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 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 flat is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Principality conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Principality 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 Principality. This is solely used to protect Principality 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 Principality 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 two types of lawyers who can carry out conveyancing in Aberporth namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors.

is it true that all Aberporth solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the TSB approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the CLC.
We had instructed conveyancers based in Aberporth on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental charge for dealing with the Nationwide mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Nationwide?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Nationwide but by your Aberporth lawyer. Some firms on the Nationwide panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Aberporth. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Yorkshire Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Aberporth and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Aberporth what are the most frequent lease defects?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Aberporth. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can result in certain sections are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the premises
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Accord Mortgages Ltd, The Mortgage Works, and TSB all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to pull out.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.
