My wife and I are refinancing our maisonette in Macclesfield with TSB. We have a son 18 who lives with us. 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 TSB conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his entitlement to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your TSB 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 TSB. This is solely used to protect TSB 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 TSB 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 acquired my home on 8 July and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Macclesfield advises it should be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Macclesfield particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Macclesfield registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property so post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying my first flat in Macclesfield with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it would affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Macclesfield I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Macclesfield for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
