Nedbank Conveyancing Panel Recently Asked Questions from members of the public

My Conveyancer has never been on on the Nedbank Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my preferred solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Nedbank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The most common options here are as follows:
  1. Carry on with your preferred lawyers but Nedbank will need to instruct a lawyer on the Nedbank conveyancing panel. This will result in additional cost and potential delay.
  2. Get a new solicitor to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Nedbank conveyancing panel.
  3. Convince your lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the Nedbank conveyancing panel
My fiance and I intend to remortgage our maisonette with Nedbank. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. The solicitor on the Nedbank conveyancing panel requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Nedbank conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 3 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Nedbank 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 Nedbank .This is solely used to protect the Nedbank 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 Nedbank 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.
