My grandson is purchasing a house that has just been built in Grahame Park with a mortgage from Skipton. His lawyer has advised him of 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 purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton 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 Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
My apartment in Grahame Park is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does the solicitor need to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.

This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Grahame Park.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a matter number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for your conveyancing in Grahame Park should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Grahame Park. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as normal as all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
