Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Little Hampton

Our grandson is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Little Hampton with a mortgage from TSB. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing 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 transaction. 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 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 TSB conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

A selection of lenders now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Little Hampton conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to forward the offer to the solicitor?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Leeds Building Society done the valuation? Have you advised Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Little Hampton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Should our lawyer be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Little Hampton.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Little Hampton. There are those who buy a property in Little Hampton, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Little Hampton. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect response. The buyer’s solicitors should also carry out an enviro search. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.
