My fiance and I are refinancing our flat in Barton Upon Humber with Kent Reliance. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up 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 Kent Reliance. This is solely used to protect Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance 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.
My fiance and I decided to purchase a purpose built apartment in Barton Upon Humber with a residential mortgage from Clydesdale.We use our Barton Upon Humber conveyancing lawyer but Clydesdale advised that her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Clydesdale panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Clydesdale use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Clydesdale approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Barton Upon Humber I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Barton Upon Humber in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

You should be aware that where the lease has less than eighty years it will impact the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this would cost. For most Barton Upon Humberlease extensions you would need to own the property for a couple of years before you are entitled to carry out a lease extension. Is there a share of the freehold? Please tell me if there are any major works in the planning that will add a premium to the maintenance costs?
