Our nephew is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Ashbourne with a mortgage from TSB. His lawyer 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 form 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 TSB 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 TSB 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 selling our property in Ashbourne and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ashbourne. We have lived in Ashbourne for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

The best way of finding a suitable conveyancer is through a trusted recommendation, so ask colleagues and family who have purchased a property in Ashbourne or the respected estate agent or mortgage broker.

Fiveweeks into purchasing a house in Ashbourne. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Does this adversely affect our Santander valuation?
Ashbourne conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the value significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a material effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease to be supplied to your property lawyer.
