I need to swap lawyers as my lawyer is not on the Precise Mortgages panel of conveyancing solicitors. How easy is it to change conveyancer?
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.

My fiance and I are refinancing our flat with Precise Mortgages. We have a son 19 who lives with us. The solicitor on the Precise Mortgages conveyancing panel 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 apartment is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this document specific to the Precise Mortgages conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 5 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 Precise 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 Precise Mortgages .This is solely used to protect the Precise Mortgages if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave.
