Our grandson is purchasing a house that has just been built in Shirebrook with a mortgage from Santander. 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 Santander 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 Santander conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
A colleague advised me that in buying a property in Shirebrook there could be a number of restrictions prohibiting external changes to the property. Is this right?
There are a number of properties in Shirebrook which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Shirebrook should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
We had chosen conveyancers locally in Shirebrook on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further fee for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Shirebrook conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Shirebrook conveyancing solicitors were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Coventry BS done the valuation? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Shirebrook is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Shirebrook are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Shirebrook you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shirebrook may determine 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 residence.
We are a couple of weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the estate agent to execute conveyancing in Shirebrook. I am am very disappointed with the quality of service. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
They would need to be very bad to suggest changing them. Has your loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and complications. That should be your starting point.
