My fiance and I are refinancing our flat in Watton with Barclays. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose 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 property is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this form unique to the Barclays conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your Barclays 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 Barclays. This is solely used to protect Barclays 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 Barclays 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 acquired my apartment on 2 March and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Watton said it should be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Watton uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Watton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
