Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Plaistow

My wife and I are intent on buying an apartment in Plaistow. My Conveyancer is not on the lender solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Plaistow conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender list of approved lawyers?

You have numerous choices open to you here

  • Proceed with your preferred Plaistow solicitor but your bank will undoubtedly instruct a conveyancer on their approved panel. The net result is additional fees together with likely interruption.
  • Appoint a new property lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your conveyancing practitioner to attempt to join the mortgage company panel

My partner and I intend to remortgage our flat in Plaistow with Coventry BS. 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. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his entitlement 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 Coventry BS. This is solely used to protect Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS 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.
