Our son is purchasing a new build apartment in Eel Pie Island with a home loan from Virgin Money. His solicitor has advised him of 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 Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
At what point will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Eel Pie Island and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Eel Pie Island you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email.

A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Eel Pie Island)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

How does conveyancing in Eel Pie Island differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Eel Pie Island approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Eel Pie Island typically buy the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Eel Pie Island or who has acted in the same development.
