My son is buying a house that has just been built in Dagenham with a mortgage from TSB. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
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 TSB conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor 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 TSB conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Is it correct that all Dagenham CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.
I am buying my first flat in Dagenham with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it could jeopardize my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Dagenham I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Dagenham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Taking into account that I will soon part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on 3 bedroom house in Dagenham I wish to talk to a conveyancer concerning thehouse move before instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Dagenham should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
