My partner and I intend to remortgage our flat in Clarborough with Nottingham. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose 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 property is repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Nottingham conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 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 Nottingham. This is solely used to protect Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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.

When appointing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Clarborough conveyancing firm) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work.

We own a leasehold flat in Clarborough. Conveyancing was completed in 2010. I have heard that I should not let the the remaining lease term to get too short. What is the reasoning?
Clarborough domestic long term leases are for a fixed term - normally just under one hundred years when they commenced. However many flats in Clarborough were constructed or converted 30 or more years ago and so such leases now have less than 80 years unexpired. This may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies generally need leases to have a minimum of 75 years unexpired to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching eighty years. To enhance the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore significant benefits to taking action before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
