My fiance and I intend to remortgage our flat in Martock with . We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this document specific to the conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his entitlement to inherit the property?

How does conveyancing in Martock differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Martock come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Martock tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Martock or who has acted in the same development.
