Our son is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Marylebone with a mortgage from Aldermore. His lawyer 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 purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Aldermore 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 Aldermore 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 told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Marylebone. My lender is Nationwide Building Society
Nationwide Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 25/6/2026, the requirements read as follows :
We are aiming to move home in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Marylebone. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent however this should only happen once the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Marylebone or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Marylebone.
I am expecting a DIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Marylebone solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Marylebone solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
About to purchase flat in Marylebone. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Marylebone conveyancer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
Just bought a terraced house in Marylebone , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Marylebone conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Marylebone is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any third parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
My father has suggested that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Marylebone. Do I follow his advice?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Marylebone conveyancing lawyer the best way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to seek feedback from friends or family who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer that you are considering.
Builders have suggested I use a lawyer and I've received an estimate from them. It's nearly £400 less expensive than my own Marylebone solicitor. Should I use them?
Builders often have panels of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the builder's paperwork and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to select a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they need an exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove unwilling to fight for your interests at the risk of alienating the sellers. If you worry that this may be the situation you should keep with your high street Marylebone property lawyer.
