Our grandson is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Little Burstead with a mortgage from Lloyds. His solicitor 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Lloyds 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 Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

We note that you have a search directory listing law firms on the UBS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Little Burstead?

The Little Burstead conveyancing firm that just started acting on my house acquisition in Little Burstead have without warning closed. I chose them because I needed a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my preferred Little Burstead lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to assist.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we use their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Little Burstead

It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Little Burstead conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Little Burstead with the purpose of saving time on the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Little Burstead can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers.
    • If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a replacement share certificate can be a lengthy process and slows down many a Little Burstead conveyancing deal. If a duplicate share certificate is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a flat where a dispute is unresolved. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to verify this via your conveyancers. A buyer’s lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to where the lease term is under 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Little Burstead state that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. If you dont have the approvals in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer in advance.
