My husband and I swapping mortgage lender for our maisonette in Dunvant with Kent Reliance. We have a son approaching twenty 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, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this document specific to the Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance. This is solely used to protect Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance 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.

Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Dunvant.
I'm buying a new build house in Dunvant benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it will put at risk my loan with Barclays Direct. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Would local authority permission be needed to convert a single dwelling into multiple appartments in Dunvant? This has occurred to a property adjacent to a relative in Dunvant and was not aware of it happening until it was finished.
Planning consent is necessary for converting a single house in Dunvant into flats but probably not for reverting back to single dwelling-house so, simply put, yes.
