My son is buying a newly built flat in East Molesey with a mortgage from Aldermore. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing 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 Aldermore 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 Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

When appointing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a East Molesey conveyancing firm) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you speak with several firms including non East Molesey conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be of use:
-
If the firm is not ALEP accredited then why not? What volume of lease extensions have they carried out in East Molesey in the last 12 months?
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a East Molesey conveyancing firm to represent me?
Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a East Molesey conveyancing firm who can help.

My partner is buying a shared ownership flat in East Molesey. He has received a fee estimate by the conveyancing practitioner recommended by the estate agents and it came to £1275 . It was ten years ago since I sold and purchased a property and it cost was £440. Have costs really escalated to that extent?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example East Molesey searches, land registry fees, etc)
