My god-son is buying a newly built flat in Crews Hill with a home loan from Nottingham. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Nottingham 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 Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I acquired my home on 11 September and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Crews Hill expressed confidence that it should be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Crews Hill particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Crews Hill registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises therefore post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
