Our grandson is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Bush Hill Park with a home loan from Aldermore. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving 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 Aldermore 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 Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I am due to move house in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Bush Hill Park. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent but this should only be done once the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Bush Hill Park or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Bush Hill Park.
I am purchasing a property in Bush Hill Park. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Clydesdale your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Bush Hill Park.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Bush Hill Park. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bush Hill Park solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
I have been told that property searches are a common reason for obstruction in Bush Hill Park house deals. Is that correct?

Searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Bush Hill Park.
How does conveyancing in Bush Hill Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bush Hill Park come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Bush Hill Park usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bush Hill Park or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bush Hill Park is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Bush Hill Park are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bush Hill Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bush Hill Park 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.
