I am in the throes of changing my existing standard home loan to a BTL Skipton Building Society mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I must appoint a lawyer for this.

My fiance and I swapping mortgage lender for our apartment in Rolleston On Dove with Principality. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Principality conveyancing panel as he never had 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?
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 Principality. This is solely used to protect Principality 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 Principality 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 have an AIP. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Rolleston On Dove?
Do check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers where you want the "fee-free" offer. Call the bank and determine if they allow a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Rolleston On Dove.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Rolleston On Dove I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rolleston On Dove in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
