Our grandson is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Carbis Bay with a home loan from RBS. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS 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 RBS 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 a dozen years since I bought my property in Carbis Bay. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could stored with the solicitor who handled your purchase.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Carbis Bay. The Carbis Bay property was put into my name in September. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement is principally there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
