Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kings Norton

My son is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Kings Norton with a home loan from UBS. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?

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

Finally the sale completed on my house in Kings Norton last October but my buyer keeps telephoning me complaining that her solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

Following your house sale your lawyer should send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. If applicable, your lawyer must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps just for conveyancing in Kings Norton.

After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was left as a mandatory part of moving house. An EPC must be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Kings Norton conveyancing solicitor they may help arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable local providers
