Our son is buying a new build apartment in Lower Sunbury with a mortgage from UBS. His conveyancer 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 form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS 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 UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Lower Sunbury what’s your top tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Lower Sunbury
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Lower Sunbury or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion a lender. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Lower Sunbury is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a distinct creep in the "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your solicitor ahead of the other parties in the home moving process.
What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Barclays Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Lower Sunbury?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
My wife and I have a renovated Georgian house in Lower Sunbury. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Leeds Building Society to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Lower Sunbury and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
