My son is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Kirkby in Ashfield with a home loan from TSB. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
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 TSB 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 TSB conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Should I be wary that 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Kirkby in Ashfield conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be most helpful. Yet there are lots of parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward solicitors to select. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers operate an approved list of law firms you must use for the lender related work in your home move.
