Our son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Aldersgate with a home loan from Co-operative. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Is it the case that all Aldersgate CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Santander conveyancing list of approved practices?

A selection of lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Aldersgate on 17/2/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nottingham and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Having digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Aldersgate solicitor - who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Aldersgate surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

What can a local search inform me about the house we're purchasing in Aldersgate?

Aldersgate conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations for instance Onsearch The local search is essential in every Aldersgate conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty surprises after you move into your new home. The search will supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject sections.

Do I need to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Aldersgate conveyancing company?

As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may recommend solicitors to select. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your own lawyer. Don't forget that most banks specify a panel list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.

My cousin has recommend that I use his conveyancing solicitors in Aldersgate. Do I follow his advice?

No doubt it’s preferable to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to get guidance from friends or family who have actually experience in using the solicitor you're contemplating using.
