My grandson is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Little Ilford with a home loan from Nationwide. His solicitor has said that there is 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 Nationwide 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 Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property.

We were going to get a OIP from TSB this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Little Ilford solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Little Ilford solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Little Ilford. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Shortly after, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
