Our grandson is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Norwood Green with a home loan from Santander. His solicitor 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 engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Santander conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor 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 Santander 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 looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Norwood Green I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Norwood Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
Do I need to be concerned about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Norwood Green conveyancing practice?
As with many service providers, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may put forward conveyancers to retain. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to choose your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that some banks have an approved list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Norwood Green. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
