My fiance and I swapping mortgage lender for our apartment in Higher Kinnerton with Santander. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Santander conveyancing panel as he did not need 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 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.
I am planning to move house in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Higher Kinnerton. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this should only occur once the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Higher Kinnerton or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Higher Kinnerton.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Leeds Building Society as we wish to carry out renovations to our house in Higher Kinnerton. Do we need to choose a high street Higher Kinnerton solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Leeds Building Society would not normally instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
