I am purchasing a flat in Aldborough Hatch. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Aldborough Hatch conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?
You must instruct a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required if you require a loan to buy your property. They will conduct all the necessary investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One can instruct a Aldborough Hatch conveyancer of your choice. However, if the conveyancer selected is not a member of the bank solicitor panel further charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so if your lawyer has not historically sought membership they should do so.
My fiance and I are refinancing our maisonette in Aldborough Hatch with Nottingham. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. 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 a couple of questions (1) Is this document specific to the Nottingham conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his entitlement to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Nottingham 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 Nottingham. This is solely used to protect Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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.
