My nephew is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Montacute with a mortgage from Skipton. His conveyancer has said that there is 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 involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton 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 Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Montacute last December but our buyer keeps whats apping every few hours to say her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Following your disposal your solicitor is obliged to forward the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Where appropriate, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the home loan has been redeemed to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion steps peculiar conveyancing in Montacute.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Montacute. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Montacute?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
Are all Montacute Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

How does conveyancing in Montacute differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Montacute approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Montacute typically acquire the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Montacute or who has acted in the same development.
