I plan on acquiring an apartment in Kirkbymoorside. My property lawyer is not on the bank conveyancing panel. Can I still appoint my Kirkbymoorside conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender approved list?
You must appoint a property lawyer to complete the formalities if you take out a loan to purchase your home. They will conduct all the relevant legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. One can select a Kirkbymoorside conveyancer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the lawyer selected is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel additional charges will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so where your lawyer has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
Our god-son is purchasing a newly built flat in Kirkbymoorside with a mortgage from HSBC. His solicitor has advised him of 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 involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the HSBC 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 HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
