My son-in-law is buying a new build apartment in Perton with a mortgage from UBS. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS 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 UBS 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 downsizing from our house in Perton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Perton conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Perton. Having lived in Perton for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I have todaydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Perton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Perton conveyancing specialists.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Perton is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Perton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Perton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Perton may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
My husband and I are buying a first floor flat in Perton. At the time of instructing our solicitor, they assured us that they were on all major UK mortgage company panels. The financial adviser called yesterday to say that they don't appear to be on the UBS approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we simply find a new solicitor that is on their approved list or should we cover the costs for dual representation, with UBS appointing their own approved conveyancer.
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is usual for the buyer’s solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to meet. Some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact UBS to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on UBS's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Perton solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the mix.
