Our god-son is purchasing a newly built flat in Peterston Super Ely with a home loan from UBS. His solicitor has advised him of 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 engaged in the purchase. 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 buying a new build flat in Peterston Super Ely. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Peterston Super Ely
-
Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Peterston Super Ely I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Peterston Super Ely suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
Should I be wary by brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm rather than a local Peterston Super Ely conveyancing firm?
As with lots of service providers, often suggestions from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may suggest lawyers to use. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to select your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that the majority of mortgage providers have an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
