I have just started taking steps with a view to changing my existing standard loan to a Buy to Let Clydesdale mortgage. The bank has said that I require a conveyancer for this. I had a chat my past Crossness conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I originally acquired the property. The quote sent of £550 is surprising as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is slightly on the steep side. Where you are prepared to invest time comparing quotes you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were content with the legal work the firm provided you maylive to rue opting for an an unknown lawyer. If is important to ensure the conveyancer can represent Clydesdale. You can employ our search tool to locate a Crossness conveyancing firm on the Clydesdale member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Crossness.
My husband and I are refinancing our penthouse in Crossness with Leeds Building Society. We have a son 19 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, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this document specific to the Leeds Building Society 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 entitlement to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society. This is solely used to protect Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society 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 purchased a terraced Edwardian house in Crossness. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Leeds Building Society to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Crossness and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
