My partner and I are refinancing our flat in Oxted with Nottingham. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this form unique to the Nottingham conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham. This is solely used to protect Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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 moved into my home on 16 June and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Oxted said it will be formalised in less than a month. Are titles in Oxted particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Oxted registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Oxted differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Oxted contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Oxted typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Oxted or who has acted in the same development.
When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Oxted what are the most common lease problems?
Leasehold conveyancing in Oxted is not unique. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the premises
You will have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Birmingham Midshires, Virgin Money, and Clydesdale all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
