I can't travel far from Bowness On Windermere. What is the rationale as to why all Bowness On Windermere conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for lenders to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or lawyer’s point of view, the flip side is that lenders are increasingly anxious and feel it necessary to protect them from illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
Our god-son is purchasing a new build apartment in Bowness On Windermere with a home loan from Clydesdale. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
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 Clydesdale conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer 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 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 have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Bowness On Windermere I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bowness On Windermere suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
