My partner and I are refinancing our flat in Llanberis with UBS. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. 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 flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this document specific to the UBS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 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 UBS 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 UBS. This is solely used to protect UBS 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 UBS 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.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Llanberis. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Llanberis?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Llanberis. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am being advised by my conveyancer that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Llanberis?

Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Clydesdale and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Llanberis to discover Conveyancing in Llanberis in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the entire property - which is definitely preferable. Do contact your conveyancer but it would appear that your conveyancer is seeking to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt as a result of lack of insurance.
