My partner and I changing mortgage lender for our penthouse in Colerne with Lloyds. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify 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 property is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this document specific to the Lloyds conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 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 Lloyds. This is solely used to protect Lloyds 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 Lloyds 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.

My hope is to acquire a ground floor flat in Colerne. Conveyancing solicitor is awaiting, from the vendor, building insurance documents. I was told today I was advised that the vendor must send the insurance documents for the flat above also. Why does my lawyer need to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly required? We have been waiting for the previous fortnight…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Colerne to discover Conveyancing in Colerne in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the whole property - which is definitely better. Do double check with your property lawyer but it would seem that your conveyancer is attempting to verify that the complete building is insured. Insuring a ground floor flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance.
