My fiance and I changing mortgage lender for our apartment in Benllech with Nottingham. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. 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 purchased 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right 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 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.

New build sellers have put forward a property lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. It's almost two hundred pounds less expensive than my family Benllech property lawyer. Should I use them?
Developers normally have lists of solicitors who expedite matters and who know the developer’s documentation and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to choose a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they need an exchange inside a month. The argument for not opting for the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be reluctant to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the sellers. If you worry that this may be the case you should stick with your local Benllech conveyancing practitioner.
