My wife and I changing mortgage lender for our flat with Together Personal Finance. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. The solicitor on the Together Personal Finance conveyancing panel requested us to identify any adults 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 repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Together Personal Finance conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 3 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 Together Personal Finance .This is solely used to protect the Together Personal Finance 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 Together Personal Finance 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.

We have agreed a price on a house I spoke to a solicitor recommended by my dad and he suggested retaining a property lawyers approved by Together Personal Finance. The estate agent recommended two local firms so I asked Together Personal Finance if the 2 suggested solicitors are approved, which they are not.
