My wife and I swapping mortgage lender for our maisonette in Hexham with Santander. 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, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Santander conveyancing panel as he did not need 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 Santander 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 Santander. This is solely used to protect Santander 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 Santander 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.

As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Hexham.
