My husband and I intend to remortgage our flat in Boroughbridge with Coventry BS. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his entitlement to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Coventry 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 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Boroughbridge is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Boroughbridge are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Boroughbridge you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Boroughbridge may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Looking forward to exchange soon on a ground floor flat in Boroughbridge. Conveyancing lawyers assured me that they report fully on Monday. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Best to be warned whether window replacement or some other major work is coming up that will be shared by the leasehold owners and could well materially impact the level of the service fees or require a specific payment. Does the lease include onerous restrictions? Is there a share of the freehold?
How does one remove a departed person's name from the title register for a house in Boroughbridge?
If a Boroughbridge property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a disposal you would simply need to evidence as to the reason the other owner is missing from the conveyance, such as a grant of probate.
With a view to making things more straight forward for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased person removed from the title entries by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
