Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Plaistow

I plan on purchasing residence in Plaistow. My Solicitor is not listed on the lender approved panel. Is it possible for me to appoint my Plaistow conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank approved list?

You will need to use a lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you need a mortgage to purchase your property. The lawyer will carry out all the relevant investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You could appoint a Plaistow conveyancer of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the solicitor selected is not a member of the mortgage company conveyancing panel additional fees will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not historically applied for membership they can do so.

My wife and I are refinancing our flat in Plaistow with Barclays. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 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 concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Barclays conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?

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