Our son-in-law is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Forest Hall with a mortgage from RBS. His solicitor has advised him of 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 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 RBS 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 RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Forest Hall registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not typically primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

How does conveyancing in Forest Hall differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Forest Hall approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Forest Hall tend to buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Forest Hall or who has acted in the same development.
