My husband and I intend to remortgage our flat in Gidea Park with Nottingham. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 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 a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Nottingham conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Nottingham 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 Nottingham. This is solely used to protect Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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.

I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Gidea Park. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Gidea Park. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A couple of days later, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
