My nephew is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Forest Hill with a mortgage from Principality. 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 engaged in the transaction. 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.
Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Forest Hill is more expensive?

This is due to the extra investigations necessary in communicating with the landlord and managing agents to obtain evidence about whether the rent and service fee have been cleared and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Forest Hill?
Forest Hill conveyancing on leasehold flats normally involves the purchaser’s solicitor sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions the majority will be willing to do so. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it exceeds £800. The management information fee required by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable.
