My husband and I are refinancing our apartment in Danescourt with Kent Reliance. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 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 flat is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his rights 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 Kent Reliance. This is solely used to protect Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance 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.

My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Danescourt and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Danescourt lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Danescourt. We have lived in Danescourt for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I am buying a new build apartment in Danescourt. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Danescourt

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

I am one month into a residential purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in Danescourt. I am am extremely frustrated with the level of service. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

They would need to be very bad in order to consider diss instructing them. Has your loan offer been issued? In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the replacement conveyancer and ensure the loan are re-sent. The conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added fees and frustration. That should be your starting point.
