My husband and I intend to remortgage our penthouse in Belsize Park with Yorkshire BS. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. 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, giving up any rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 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 Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS. This is solely used to protect Yorkshire 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 Yorkshire 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.
Do I need to visit the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Belsize Park so that I can attend their offices when needed.
Most conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders carry out their work through the post, internet or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the legal work for your home move no matter where you live in the country. Nevertheless you should see if you have the option of visiting the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if needed.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Belsize Park
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Belsize Park conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
