Our nephew is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Aston Clinton with a mortgage from Kent Reliance. His conveyancer 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 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 Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer 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 Kent Reliance 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 terraced Victorian house in Aston Clinton. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Aston Clinton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we use their recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Aston Clinton
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Aston Clinton conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will provide the estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
