My nephew is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Bedale with a home loan from RBS. His conveyancer 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS 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 RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Bedale , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Bedale conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Bedale is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Bedale differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bedale come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Bedale tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bedale or who has acted in the same development.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Bedale. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all rents and service payments will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
