Our grandson is purchasing a house that has just been built in Exminster with a home loan from Principality. His lawyer 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 purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Principality conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer 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 Principality conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I moved into my house on 3 January and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Exminster said it will be concluded inside ten days. Are titles in Exminster uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Exminster registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Exminster I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Exminster suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
