My partner and I are refinancing our flat with Cynergy Bank. We have a son 19 who lives with us. The solicitor on the Cynergy Bank conveyancing panel has asked us to disclose 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 property is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Cynergy Bank conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right 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 Cynergy Bank .This is solely used to protect the Cynergy Bank 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 Cynergy Bank 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 previously instructed online solicitors located in Manchester who are on the Cynergy Bank solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate fee of £195 for dealing with the Cynergy Bank mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Cynergy Bank?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitors can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Cynergy Bank but by your lawyers. Some firms on the Cynergy Bank will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
My brother and I have had an offer accepted on a house I spoke to a conveyancer recommended by my dad and he advised instructing a law firm approved by Cynergy Bank. The estate agent recommended two local firms so I asked Cynergy Bank if the 2 suggested solicitors are approved, which they are not. Cynergy Bank pointed out that either practice can fill out the appropriate forms to become approved. Do I (1) save myself the aggravation and use one of Cynergy Bank 's conveyancing panel solicitors (2) Use the local solicitor and accept there may be delays etc as they go through the approval process.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in month 6 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Cynergy Bank are being difficult. The solicitor who is on the Cynergy Bank conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Cynergy Bank are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Cynergy Bank have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Cynergy Bank have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Cynergy Bank may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing correctly and safely installed. It merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
