My wife and I are refinancing our penthouse in Cleobury Mortimer with UBS. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this document specific 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 compromise 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 have been told that property searches are the number one reason for stalling in Cleobury Mortimer house deals. Is this right?

Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Cleobury Mortimer.
How does conveyancing in Cleobury Mortimer differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Cleobury Mortimer approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Cleobury Mortimer typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Cleobury Mortimer or who has acted in the same development.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we use their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Cleobury Mortimer
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Cleobury Mortimer conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
