My nephew is purchasing a new build apartment in Brockenhurst with a mortgage from Santander. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
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 Santander conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor 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 Santander conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Brockenhurst. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't track down the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be archived with the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Brockenhurst involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Brockenhurst. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
Back In 2002, I bought a leasehold flat in Brockenhurst. Conveyancing and Skipton Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Brockenhurst who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Brockenhurst conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the lessees benefit from being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is frequently retained if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Best to be warned if fixing the lift or some other major work is due shortly that will be shared between the tenants and will dramatically impact the level of the service fees or result in a one time invoice. How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments?
