My god-son is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in East Acton with a home loan from RBS. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS 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 RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I purchased a freehold residence in East Acton yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in East Acton and has limited impact for conveyancing in East Acton but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in East Acton for our house move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our bank Bank of Ireland won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Banks tend to imposes restrictions either the type or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their member panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, some have decided to limit the amount of solicitor practices they use to represent them. Be aware that Bank of Ireland have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Bank of Ireland Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are differing opinions concerning the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry indicate that plenty of law firms, including some in or near East Acton only execute a couple conveyances a year.
