My nephew is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Polperro with a home loan from Principality. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The form 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 Principality conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor 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 Principality conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Polperro last March but the buyer keeps texting me complaining that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

Where relevant, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the home loan has been discharged to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Polperro.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Polperro , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Polperro conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Polperro registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
