Our son-in-law is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Barbican with a home loan from Clydesdale. His solicitor has advised him of 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I have justbecome aware that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Barbican for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Barbican conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Barbican I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Barbican suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
Should I choose a Barbican conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can deal with the legal formalities but they are based 300kilometers away.
The benefit of a local Barbican conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were impressed that should surpass using an unfamiliar Barbican conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
