We selected a Filton based lawyer for my conveyancing in Filton recently. Upon checking the official terms of business it is apparent thatwe are liable for costs even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to instruct an internet firm offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Filton?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to counteract those conveyances that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such arrangements rarely protect you from outlay for instance Filton conveyancing search fees.
My wife and I changing mortgage lender for our flat in Filton with RBS. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. 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 two questions (1) Is this form unique to the RBS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your RBS conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing 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 RBS. This is solely used to protect RBS 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 RBS 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 lawyer in Filton has never been on on the Alliance & Leicester Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Alliance & Leicester panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Filton solicitors but Alliance & Leicester will need to instruct a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total legal fees and cause frustration.
- Choose a new practitioner to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are on the Alliance & Leicester panel

Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
