My god-son is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Maltby with a mortgage from Nottingham. His solicitor has advised him of 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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I am buying a detached bungalow in Maltby. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property include checks to determine if these works are permitted?
Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Maltby can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of changes or need the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Can you point me to a directory of Nationwide panel conveyancers in Maltby on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

I have paid off my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Maltby conveyancer on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I'm buying my first flat in Maltby benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it will impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Maltby is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Maltby are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Maltby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Maltby may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I am 18 days into a freehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Maltby. I am not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?
