My husband and I intend to remortgage our maisonette in Llanbrynmair with Co-operative. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults 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 property is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Co-operative conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his entitlement 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 own a freehold premises in Llanbrynmair yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Llanbrynmair and has limited impact for conveyancing in Llanbrynmair but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
I purchased my flat on 5 February and the transaction details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Llanbrynmair advises it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Llanbrynmair uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Llanbrynmair is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any third parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the property so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
