Our son is buying a house that has just been built in Pelsall with a mortgage from Yorkshire BS. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving 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 Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I happen to be the sole recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Pelsall. The Pelsall property was put into my name in July. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of properties.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Pelsall conveyancer having checked that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Pelsall postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Pelsall.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Pelsall I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Pelsall suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
