My grandson is purchasing a newly built flat in Mirfield with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
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 Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. 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 Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Will conveyancers ask for money on account for my conveyancing in Mirfield?

Ordinarily this is called for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is payable against the sale price then this should be asked for shortly ahead of exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is needed will be payable shortly before completion.
How does conveyancing in Mirfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Mirfield come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because builders in Mirfield typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Mirfield or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Mirfield I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Mirfield in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Mirfield
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Mirfield conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
