My partner and I swapping mortgage lender for our maisonette in Beacontree Heath with . 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 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 apartment is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this form unique to the conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?

How does conveyancing in Beacontree Heath differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Beacontree Heath come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Beacontree Heath tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Beacontree Heath or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Beacontree Heath I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Beacontree Heath in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
