Our son-in-law is buying a house that has just been built in Anston with a home loan from Skipton. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving 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 engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer 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 Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

We are 14 days into a leasehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the local agent to do our conveyancing in Anston. We are not happy. Can you help me find new lawyers?
A conveyancer would have to be very poor in order to consider replacing them. Has the loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you must inform them of the replacement lawyer and have the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your conveyancer should be on the lenders panel to avoid escalating costs and complications. That should be your starting point.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Anston where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Anston conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I acquired a 2 bed flat in Anston, conveyancing was carried out 9 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Anston with over 90 years remaining are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2079
With only 53 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £27,600 and £31,800 plus professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
My partner and I are acquiring a studio flat in Anston. When we first instructed conveyancer, they said that they were on all mainstream bank panels. Our mortgage broker emailed yesterday to say that they are not on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we just pick a new lawyer that is on their panel or should we pay for separate representation, with Yorkshire BS selecting their own approved conveyancer.
When buying a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is standard for the buyer’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the property lawyer has to satisfy. Some banks now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Yorkshire BS to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Yorkshire BS's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Anston lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
