Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wollaton

My fiance and I swapping mortgage lender for our flat in Wollaton with Nationwide. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Nationwide conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?

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

As someone clueless as to the Wollaton conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Wollaton

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Wollaton and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, selling agent and on occasion your bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Wollaton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose interest is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.

Sometimes a potential adversary may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Wollaton. The Wollaton property was put into my name in February. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this clause principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
