My fiance and I intend to remortgage our penthouse in Edwinstowe with Santander. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify 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, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Santander conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 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 Santander. This is solely used to protect Santander 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 Santander 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 wife and I are intent on selling our house in Edwinstowe and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Edwinstowe. We have lived in Edwinstowe for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Edwinstowe I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Edwinstowe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Edwinstowe
It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Edwinstowe conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
