Our nephew is buying a house that has just been built in Pitstone with a home loan from Bank of Ireland. His conveyancer 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 engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Pitstone , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Pitstone conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the registration is concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Pitstone registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Pitstone is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Pitstone are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Pitstone you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pitstone may determine 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 property.
Given that I will soon part with 450k on a property in Pitstone I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer concerning theconveyancing before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be carrying out your conveyancing in Pitstone.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a case reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Pitstone should be the figure that you end up paying.
