My grandson is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Chapeltown with a home loan from HSBC. 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 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 HSBC conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer 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 HSBC 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 true that some banks and building societies now use CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their panels.
We previously instructed solicitors locally in Chapeltown on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further charge for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Chapeltown conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.

We are soon to exchange on the purchase a house in Chapeltown but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the seller of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet the lender will not permit this. Should they have been notified?
Any property lawyer that is on a mortgage company conveyancing panel is obliged to inform the lender of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the price change to your mortgage company then they would have no choice but to disinstructing themselves from acting for you and the mortgage company.
