My fiance and I changing mortgage lender for our penthouse in Leegomery with Leeds Building Society. We have a son approaching twenty 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, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this form unique to the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 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 Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society. This is solely used to protect Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society 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 need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Leegomery. I happened to stumble across a site which seems to have the perfect answer If it is possible to get all the legals completed via email that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Our offer on property in Leegomery was agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a flat, although it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing lawyer in Leegomery. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started with Co-operative?
It is usual to have concerns where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Leegomery conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Co-operative approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Co-operative and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Leegomery.
