My partner and I intend to remortgage our maisonette in Ripponden with Clydesdale. We have a son 18 who lives with us. 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 a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale. This is solely used to protect Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale 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.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Ripponden?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Ripponden. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Ripponden I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ripponden in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the 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 can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
I bought a flat in Ripponden last 3/10/2024 and to date it is still not registered with the Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my lawyer told me that it can take twelve months to register. I have called the Land Registry directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?
It is your solicitor that you must get in touch with in order to satisfy any issues which have been raised as part of the registration formalities for your Ripponden property. Normal Ripponden conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the vendor’s property lawyer that they will assist in resolving any question raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking in some way.
