Our nephew is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Port Talbot with a home loan from Coventry BS. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing 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 purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Port Talbot 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to locate all the suitable documentation so you can buy or sell your house without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your solicitor may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the property.
