I am in the throes of swapping over from my domestic loan to a Buy to Let Bank of Ireland mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I must appoint a conveyancer as part of the process. I had a chat my former Leek conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I originally acquired the property. The costs illustration sent of £470 has surprised me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

My fiance and I swapping mortgage lender for our maisonette in Leek with Co-operative. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults 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 flat is repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Co-operative conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights 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 Co-operative. This is solely used to protect Co-operative 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 Co-operative 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 have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Leek I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Leek for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Leek ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Leek conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Leek do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
