My fiance and I intend to remortgage our penthouse in Haringey with Aldermore. 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 reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this form unique to the Aldermore conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 3 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 Aldermore. This is solely used to protect Aldermore 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 Aldermore 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 am aiming to move property in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Haringey. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only take place after the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Haringey or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Haringey.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Haringey. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £200. A couple of days later, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
