My partner and I changing mortgage lender for our penthouse in East Ham with Yorkshire BS. We have a son approaching twenty 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 apartment is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his entitlement 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 Yorkshire BS. This is solely used to protect Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS 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.

Have purchased a a terraced house in East Ham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My East Ham conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in East Ham is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in East Ham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in East Ham approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in East Ham tend to acquire 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in East Ham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. East Ham is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in East Ham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside East Ham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in East Ham may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
