My husband and I are refinancing our apartment in Holmrook with Virgin Money. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document 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 Virgin Money conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 3 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 Virgin Money. This is solely used to protect Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money 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.
How can we tell if a Holmrook conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Holmrook getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Holmrook. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Clydesdale your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Holmrook.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Holmrook on 30/10/2024, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Are Aldermore entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I got the keys to my apartment on 7 March and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Holmrook expressed confidence that it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Holmrook uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Holmrook registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my uncle I am selling a house in Neath but reside in Holmrook. My lawyer (who is 250 miles from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Holmrook to witness this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Holmrook based
