My husband and I intend to remortgage our flat in Newbury Park with Lloyds. We have a son 19 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 flat is repossessed. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Lloyds conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 3 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right 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 Lloyds. This is solely used to protect Lloyds 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 Lloyds 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.
At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Newbury Park and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Newbury Park you are welcome to come in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Newbury Park)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Newbury Park. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the Accord Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
You should call your solicitor and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you should get in touch with Accord Mortgages Ltd who may be able to help.
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for delay in Newbury Park conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

I'm buying a new build house in Newbury Park benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it would affect my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
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.
