My fiance and I are refinancing our flat in Burton upon Trent with Yorkshire BS. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 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 apartment is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 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.
I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Burton upon Trent?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you accept the "fee-free" deal. Contact the lender and see if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Burton upon Trent.
I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Burton upon Trent. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this clause primarily exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
