Our god-son is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Park Hill with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His solicitor 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 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 Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
As I am unsure how the conveyancing bit works what is the most important advice you can give me concerning purchase conveyancing in Park Hill?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Park Hill and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, property agent and sometimes a bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Park Hill should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a distinct increase in the "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you must always trust your lawyer ahead of the other players in the home moving process.
We are selling our flat in Park Hill. Will my conveyancer need to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
