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

We are purchasing a detached bungalow in Dingle. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?
Your conveyancer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Dingle will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of changes or require the consent of another owner. Some works need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Please help - my lawyer says that chancel insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Dingle?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
is it true that all Dingle solicitor firms on the Principality conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Principality conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
How does conveyancing in Dingle differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Dingle contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Dingle usually 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 Dingle or who has acted in the same development.

I have been searching for Dingle online conveyancing estimates. Can I be sure that all the Dingle practices that are listed on your directory are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel?
The law firms on our directory have assured us via an online form that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Dingle conveyancing solicitor being on the bank conveyancing panel is incorrect.
