MPowered Mortgages Conveyancing Panel : Questions and Answers
I need to swap lawyers as my lawyer is not on the MPowered Mortgages panel of conveyancing solicitors. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?
If you haven't yet instructed a solicitor to do anything for you and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer you're considering.
My husband and I intend to remortgage our maisonette with MPowered Mortgages. We have a son 18 who lives with us. The solicitor on the MPowered Mortgages conveyancing panel has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the MPowered Mortgages conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his rights to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your MPowered Mortgages 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 MPowered Mortgages .This is solely used to protect the MPowered Mortgages 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 MPowered Mortgages 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 a mortgage with MPowered Mortgages. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform MPowered Mortgages?
MPowered Mortgages must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of MPowered Mortgages’s mortgage conditions.

You should contact MPowered Mortgages directly. You need not do this via a MPowered Mortgages conveyancing panel lawyer.
