My grandson is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Bulls Cross with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His solicitor 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 involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Bulls Cross. The Bulls Cross property was put into my name in September. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

We had selected solicitors with offices in Bulls Cross on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate charge for the legal aspects of the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Co-operative but by your Bulls Cross lawyer. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Bulls Cross I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bulls Cross suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
