Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Shrewton

My god-son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Shrewton with a mortgage from Nottingham. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?

The document 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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Nationwide Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Shrewton?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need this when acquiring a house in Shrewton? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some owners of property residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for maintenance to the chancel within the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Shrewton?

Unless a prior purchase of the house took place after 12 October 2013 you can assume that solicitors handling conveyancing in Shrewton to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Shrewton with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with Aldermore. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
