Our grandson is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Saxilby with a mortgage from Yorkshire BS. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing 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 engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Yorkshire 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 Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Saxilby is more expensive?
The conveyancing fees on a leasehold premises in Saxilby is often higher than on a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is due to the extra work required in dealing with the freeholder and management company to collate the information concerning whether the rent and service charges have been cleared and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to list practices on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Saxilby?
We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a search facility.

Do not opt for the cheapest Saxilby conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Saxilby. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I plan to dispose of the house.

By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
