Our god-son is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Arundel with a home loan from TSB. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The form 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 TSB conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. 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 TSB conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My wife and I have a renovated Victorian house in Arundel. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Arundel and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

We are in the throes of selling our flat in Arundel. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay a fortune from the managing agents. So far we have forked out £275 for a leasehold management information and then another £134.40 for additional questions supplied by the purchaser's solicitor.
Neither you or your solicitor will have any sway over the extent of the bill for this information however the average costs for the information for Arundel leasehold premises is £395. When it comes to Arundel conveyancing transactions it is customary for the owner to cover the costs. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to answer these questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires capped fees for administrative tasks. Nor is there any statutory time frame by which they are obliged to provide the information.
