My fiance and I are refinancing our penthouse in Brading with Clydesdale. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults 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 flat is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 3 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 Clydesdale. This is solely used to protect Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale 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.

Our offer on semi in Brading has been accepted, the owner does nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The owners have submitted an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Brading. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Brading conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the TSB approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers will apply for a home loan with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to press on with searches.
