My grandson is purchasing a new build apartment in Poole with a home loan from Nottingham. 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 involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Nottingham 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 Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

When does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Poole and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?

Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Poole you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Poole)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Poole. There are those who acquire a house in Poole, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Poole. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the seller to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages stemming from an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s solicitors should also conduct an enviro report. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Poole. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as usual as all ground rent and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Poole, conveyancing formalities finalised 9 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding flats in Poole with a long lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2094

With 68 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
