My god-son is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Huyton with a mortgage from Co-operative. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
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 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.
We just had an offer accepted to purchase with Loughborough BS. I went into 3 or 4 local solicitors but am unable to find a Huyton conveyancing firm on the Loughborough BS approved list. Please you assist?

Should our solicitor be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Huyton.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Huyton. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Huyton, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Huyton. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to discover whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate response. A buyer’s conveyancers will also order an environmental report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be conducted.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Huyton. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
