Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wirksworth

My partner and I intend to remortgage our apartment in Wirksworth with RBS. 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, 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 RBS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his entitlement to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your RBS 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 RBS. This is solely used to protect RBS 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 RBS 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.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Wirksworth? What am I being asked for?

It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Wirksworth. Nowadays you will not be able to complete any conveyancing deal in the absence providing evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a council tax bill. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of identification it must be both the paper section as well as the photo card part, one is not acceptable in the absence of the other.

Evidence of the origin of money is mandated under Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancer must retain this information on file. Your Wirksworth conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they may also ask additional queries concerning the origin of funds.

we are a couple who are purchasing a newbuild flat in Wirksworth with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester .We have a Wirksworth conveyancing solicitor but Alliance & Leicester advised that she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Alliance & Leicester approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester
