Our son-in-law is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Beddington South with a mortgage from Coventry BS. His conveyancer has said that there is 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 Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS 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 purchasing my first flat in Beddington South with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
