Our nephew is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Gamlingay with a home loan from Co-operative. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?

The document 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 Co-operative 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 Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Gamlingay for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Gamlingay conveyancing specialists.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Gamlingay. I have stumble across a site which appears to be the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via email that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

My partner and I have an offer in principle from Nationwide Building Society who indicated we could borrow up to £300k. At what point do I need to appoint a practitioner for conveyancing? Gamlingay is where we plan to move to.

It would be wise to appoint a conveyancing practitioner now and ask them to open a file for you. This will facilitate: 1) the estate agent to send out the Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s conveyancer to submit the draft contract. However, do not ask your lawyer to start searches until you have your valuation report via Nationwide Building Society and you are happy to proceed.
