Our grandson is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Bedale with a mortgage from Nottingham. 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 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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Have completed on a a detached house in Bedale , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Bedale conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are addressed.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Bedale is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Bedale are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bedale you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bedale may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
