Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cotswolds

My son is purchasing a house that has just been built in Cotswolds with a home loan from Principality. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?

The document 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 Principality conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. 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 Principality conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

How up to date is your search tool for Cotswolds conveyancing solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Do Clydesdale send you an updated list?

I have recentlyfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Cotswolds for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Cotswolds conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Cotswolds differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Cotswolds contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Cotswolds tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cotswolds or who has acted in the same development.
