My fiance and I changing mortgage lender for our apartment in Chorlton with HSBC. We have a son 19 who lives with us. 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 forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the HSBC conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 3 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 HSBC. This is solely used to protect HSBC 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 HSBC 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.

Just bought a detached house in Chorlton , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Chorlton conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Chorlton registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore post completion formalities is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I'm buying my first flat in Chorlton benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
