My wife and I changing mortgage lender for our penthouse in Ruxley with Nottingham. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Nottingham conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 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 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.
Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Ruxley is more expensive?
The conveyancing costs for a leasehold premises in Ruxley is often more expensive when contrasted to a freehold transaction. This is due to the extra investigations necessary in communicating with the landlord and management company to obtain information concerning whether the rent and service fee have been discharged and whether there are any major works due in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
We are aiming to move home in September. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Ruxley. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only take place when the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. After that you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Ruxley or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Ruxley.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Ruxley conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Leeds Building Society?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Leeds Building Society done the valuation? Have you advised Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
