My grandson is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Childs Hill with a mortgage from Skipton. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
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 Skipton 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 Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Just bought a terraced house in Childs Hill , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Childs Hill conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my purchase is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Childs Hill registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Childs Hill
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
I have been recommended by numerous estate agents in Childs Hill to get a quote from a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your services rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t give any referral fee for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Childs Hill where we have witnessed a number of flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Childs Hill conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I am the proprietor of a first floor flat in Childs Hill. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum payable for a lease extension?
