My son is purchasing a house that has just been built in Dyserth with a home loan from Barclays. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
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 Barclays conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer 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 Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I am thinking of refinancing my flat in Dyserth, does my lawyer have to be on the RBS Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the RBS conveyancing panel, but RBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
Should our solicitor be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Dyserth.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Dyserth. Plenty of people will buy a property in Dyserth, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Dyserth. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the vendor to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim resulting from an misleading reply. A purchaser’s lawyers will also carry out an environmental report. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be conducted.

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
