Our grandson is buying a newly built flat in Newton Abbot with a mortgage from Principality. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document 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 Principality 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 Principality conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Having sold my house in Newton Abbot last November yet the purchaser is calling every few hours to moan that their conveyancer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

If applicable, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers solicitors.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Newton Abbot 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor should know exactly where to look for all the relevant documentation so you can buy or sell your house without any difficulty. Where copies can’t be found, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Newton Abbot I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Newton Abbot suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will 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 can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 matter.

My in 2005. He has got married, divorced and in recent months got remarried. He will be marketing the apartment next winter. I believe he will simply be asked to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the property lawyer but he is concerned it could hold up the conveyancing. Is it worth updating the land title details for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the title for the property on the basis that you have the evidence required to show how the change of name resulted.
The buyer’s lawyer will examine the registered details and require evidence to establish the change of name for instance marriage certificates.
