My partner and I intend to remortgage our flat in Chulmleigh with RBS. 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, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the RBS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your RBS 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 RBS. This is solely used to protect RBS 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 RBS 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 had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Chulmleigh for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage lenders Lloyds TSB Bank won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Lenders in the main imposes restrictions either the category or the amount of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the amount of solicitor practices they use to represent them. You should note that Lloyds TSB Bank have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Lloyds TSB Bank Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there remains differing opinions about the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Chulmleigh only execute a couple conveyances a year.

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 Chulmleigh. The Chulmleigh property was put into my name in March. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this provision primarily exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Chulmleigh conveyancing lawyers were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore completed the valuation? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

Yorkshire BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Chulmleigh has been agreed to, now what?

The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Yorkshire BS or your financial adviser and finish off any relevant documentation. Yorkshire BS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Yorkshire BS will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Chulmleigh.
