Our son-in-law is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Aldersgate with a mortgage from UBS. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS 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 UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I am considering applying for a Leeds Building Society mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Aldersgate with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
I am assisting my sister sell her flat in Aldersgate. Will the solicitor order the energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates became a mandatory component of moving property. An energy assessment needs to be to hand in advance of the property being placed on the market. It is not a task that solicitors ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Aldersgate conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established local assessors
My solicitor has informed me that missing deeds insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Aldersgate?
The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
We were going to get a OIP from Virgin Money this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Aldersgate solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Aldersgate solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.

We have AIP from Nationwide Building Society who suggested we could borrow up to £400k. When do we need to instruct a lawyer for conveyancing? Aldersgate is where we are buying.
It would be wise to appoint a property lawyer now and ask them to create a file for you. This will enable: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memo to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s solicitor to send out the draft agreement. However, do not instruct your property lawyer to order searches until you have your valuation report via Nationwide Building Society and you are happy to proceed.
