Our son is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Grangetown with a home loan from Principality. His conveyancer has said that there is 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 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 surveyor 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.

We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Grangetown for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage lenders Aldermore won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their member panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the type of firm, a few lenders have reduced the amount of solicitor practices they permit to act for them. You should note that Aldermore have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Aldermore Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are mixed views regarding the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry indicate that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Grangetown only perform very few conveyances per annum.

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Grangetown?
Conveyancing - in Grangetown or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the problems before you move in.
