My wife and I changing mortgage lender for our penthouse in Sandown with HSBC. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. 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 two questions (1) Is this form unique to the HSBC conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his entitlement 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.

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Sandown to find Conveyancing in Sandown in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the landlord insuring the entire building - which is clearly better. You should clarify with your solicitor but it would seem that your conveyancing practitioner is seeking to establish that the complete building is insured. Insuring your flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance.
