My nephew is buying a house that has just been built in Bishops Cleeve with a mortgage from Clydesdale. His lawyer has said that there is 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 Clydesdale 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 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Bishops Cleeve is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Bishops Cleeve are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bishops Cleeve you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bishops Cleeve may determine 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 property.

If you are instructing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Bishops Cleeve conveyancing firm) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing.

The following questions could be of use:
-

My wife and I are purchasing a garden flat in Bishops Cleeve. When we first instructed lawyer, they assured us that they were on all major UK lender panels. Our financial adviser emailed today to advise that they are not on the Coventry BS approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we simply choose a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Coventry BS selecting their own preferred solicitor.
If you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is usual for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancing practitioner has to satisfy. Some banks now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your lawyer should contact Coventry BS to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Coventry BS's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Bishops Cleeve lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the equation.
