Our god-son is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Ruskington with a home loan from Skipton. His solicitor has advised him of 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton 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 Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Ruskington is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ruskington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ruskington may ascertain 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 premises.

The solicitors handling our conveyancing in Ruskington has forwarded papers to review that show the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all property in Ruskington are registered?
Over ninety percent of property in Ruskington is registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Plenty of Ruskington conveyancing practitioners should be able to handle such matters but where uncertainty reigns the conventional recommendation presently appears to be for the seller to address the registration formalities first and thereafter sell - this will have a knock on effect to cause a significant delay.
