My husband and I are refinancing our flat in Hove with RBS. We have a son approaching twenty 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, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the RBS 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?

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.

We see that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Hove?

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Hove. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Hove?

On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Hove. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I have been told by my conveyancer that lack of planning permission insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Hove?

The appropriate level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I am expecting a OIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Hove solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Hove solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.

I have recently realised that I have Seventy years unexpired on my flat in Hove. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?

If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have done all that could be expected to find the lessor. For most situations a specialist should be helpful to try and locate and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Hove.
