My son is purchasing a new build apartment in Saltash with a home loan from Principality. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form 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 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.

This fee is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Saltash property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Saltash conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
