My mortgage broker says he needs my Uppingham solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have contacted my local Uppingham office but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Uppingham conveyancer . They keep a central record lender panel numbers.
My husband and I swapping mortgage lender for our penthouse in Uppingham with Kent Reliance. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his rights to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance. This is solely used to protect Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance 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'm buying my first flat in Uppingham with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.
