Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cowley

My wife and I intend to remortgage our apartment in Cowley with TSB. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 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 forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this document specific to the TSB conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 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 TSB. This is solely used to protect TSB 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 TSB 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.

Do I have to visit the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Cowley so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.

Whereas this was necessary 15 years ago, most banks no longer need their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the mortgagors signature. It will still be necessary for you to provide identification documents and there are still distinct benefits to instructing a locally based practitioner, in your situation a conveyancing solicitor in Cowley.
