My partner and I intend to remortgage our apartment in Allenton with Barclays. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Barclays conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 4 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 Barclays. This is solely used to protect Barclays 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 Barclays 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.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Allenton. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Allenton?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Allenton. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
