My partner and I swapping mortgage lender for our apartment in Chapel En Le Frith with UBS. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose 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 two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the UBS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your UBS 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 UBS. This is solely used to protect UBS 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 UBS 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 bought my flat on 1 September and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Chapel En Le Frith said it would be recorded in less than a month. Are transfers in Chapel En Le Frith uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Chapel En Le Frith registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Chapel En Le Frith is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

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 residence.
Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Chapel En Le Frith with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Chapel En Le Frith can be reduced if you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers. Some Chapel En Le Frith leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. Many landlords or managing agents in Chapel En Le Frith levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Chapel En Le Frith. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unresolved.

My folks are experiencing difficulties in finding their Chapel En Le Frith property on the HM Land Registry site. They recall that back in the 60’s when they bought the house there were complications with Chapel En Le Frith not being recognised in some systems.
Nearly all premises in Chapel En Le Frith should show up. Have you tried a search with just the postcode. Normally it will disclose all the houses and flats within that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. Where they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
