Our god-son is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Chaddesden with a home loan from TSB. His lawyer 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 form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the TSB 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 TSB 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 the registered owner of a freehold property in Chaddesden yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Chaddesden and has limited impact for conveyancing in Chaddesden but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.

My wife and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from UBS as we intend to carry out renovations to our home in Chaddesden. Are we obliged to select a high street Chaddesden solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
UBS do not ordinarily require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS panel.
The mortgage over my property is with RBS for my property in Chaddesden. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform RBS?
Your original mortgage agreement with RBS will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel lawyer.

I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need this when buying a house in Chaddesden? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that means some house owners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Chaddesden?
Unless a prior purchase of the premises took place after 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Chaddesden to continue to recommend a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
