My son is purchasing a new build apartment in Low Fell with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His solicitor has said that there is 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society 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 post code search directory listing solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Low Fell?

I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Low Fell?
You should check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel solicitors should you take up the "fee-free" deal. Contact the mortgage company to explore if they make available a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Low Fell.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Low Fell?

An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Low Fell
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Low Fell conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
