My friend's uncle is a property lawyer. I anticipate that I can be offered mate’s pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Abbeymeads?
Do compare pricing. Do use our comparison tool on this site. You will notice that fees will vary but the service one can expect are distinct between conveyancers as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.
My husband and I intend to remortgage our flat in Abbeymeads with Nationwide. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Nationwide conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 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 Nationwide 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 Nationwide. This is solely used to protect Nationwide 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 Nationwide 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 have been told that property searches are the primary reason for obstruction in Abbeymeads conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
