I selected a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Little Oakley recently. After carefully reading the Terms I noteI am liable for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and use an internet conveyancing brokerage promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Little Oakley?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to cover those transactions that do not proceed. Dont forget that these offerings generally do not cover expenses for instance Little Oakley conveyancing search costs.
My partner and I intend to remortgage our apartment in Little Oakley with HSBC. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults 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 flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the HSBC conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your HSBC 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 HSBC. This is solely used to protect HSBC 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 HSBC 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.
