Our grandson is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Pevensey with a home loan from Barclays. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing 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 purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Barclays 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 Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

How does conveyancing in Pevensey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Pevensey approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Pevensey tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Pevensey or who has acted in the same development.
Am I best advised to use a Pevensey conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am buying? We have a good friend who can handle the conveyancing but her office is over three hundred kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Pevensey conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute documents, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Pevensey conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
Our offer on semi in Pevensey has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have submitted an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and has viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing lawyer in Pevensey. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going with Yorkshire BS?
It is standard to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Pevensey conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Pevensey.
