My fiance and I are refinancing our flat in Beadnell with Coventry BS. 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 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 flat is repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights 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 Coventry BS. This is solely used to protect Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS 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 apartment in Beadnell is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will my solicitor have to be required to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.
Just bought a terraced house in Beadnell , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Beadnell conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the post completion formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Beadnell registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
