My nephew is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Bexhill with a home loan from Barclays. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing 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 purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Barclays 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 Barclays 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 70 years left on my lease and need a lease extension for my flat in Bexhill. Conveyancing solicitors on the Platform panel can deal with such extensions right?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Bexhill. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Co-operative have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Co-operative your lawyer must check the formal instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Co-operative where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Bexhill.
I am expecting a DIP from Virgin Money this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Bexhill solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Bexhill solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Barclays are being a right pain. The Bexhill solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Barclays are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
How does conveyancing in Bexhill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bexhill approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Bexhill usually buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Bexhill or who has acted in the same development.
