I am getting a mortgage offer from Capital Home Loans. I hope to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer. Does the Capital Home Loans Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers
Capital Home Loans’s conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My partner and I are refinancing our flat with Capital Home Loans. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. The solicitor on the Capital Home Loans conveyancing panel has asked us to disclose 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 property is repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Capital Home Loans conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 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 Capital Home Loans .This is solely used to protect the Capital Home Loans 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 Capital Home Loans 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 due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in month 2010 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Capital Home Loans are being difficult. The solicitor who is on the Capital Home Loans conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Capital Home Loans are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Capital Home Loans have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Capital Home Loans have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Capital Home Loans may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing correctly and safely installed. It merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. My conveyancing solicitor has been instructed. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage app going with Capital Home Loans?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey/valuation, conveyancing search costs, etc). First you should check that your solicitor is on the Capital Home Loans conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot mortgage some buyers would pally for the mortgage with Capital Home Loans and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.
