My wife and I intend to remortgage our maisonette in Newington with Kent Reliance. We have a son 19 who lives at home. 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, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his entitlement to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance. This is solely used to protect Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance 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.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Newington. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Newington I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Newington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

Taking into account that I am about to spend £400,000 on a two bedroom apartment in Newington I would like to talk to a solicitor about myhouse move ahead of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We could not agree more - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Newington.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a file number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Newington should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
