All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Common Edge is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Common Edge are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Common Edge you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Common Edge may ascertain 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.

strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Common Edge based
I have read on numerous online forums that when selecting a conveyancing firm they need approved by your bank. I am novice purchaser but I have an AIP with Birmingham Midhshires and I already have a family conveyancing lawyer in Common Edge lined up. Does Nat West Bank require an approved solicitor to be selected? If so, where do I find that list so I can choose a conveyancing lawyer in Common Edge?
You need to use a solicitor that is on the Nat West Bank panel. Simply telephone your preferred Common Edge conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the Nat West Bank panel. If they are not approved you have a couple of alternatives open to you here:
- Complete the deal with your existing Common Edge lawyer but Nat West Bank will no doubt instruct a solicitor on their approved panel. The net result is additional charges and probable delay.
- Choose a new property lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the Nat West Bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to apply to join the mortgage company panel.
