Our god-son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Burton upon Stather with a home loan from Lloyds. His conveyancer has advised him of 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 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 Lloyds 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 Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

We previously selected solicitors with offices in Burton upon Stather on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional charge for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Burton upon Stather lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
We expect to receive a OIP from TSB 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 TSB recommend any Burton upon Stather solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Burton upon Stather solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
