My son-in-law is purchasing a house that has just been built in Histon with a home loan from Aldermore. 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 involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Aldermore 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 Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Histon. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they could be archived with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Histon relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two apartments in Histon which have about 50 years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
