Our grandson is purchasing a newly built flat in Sileby with a mortgage from Co-operative. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Co-operative 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 Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when purchasing a property in Sileby? or I am told that there is historic law that means some homeowners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Sileby?
Unless a previous purchase of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you may take it that conveyancing practitioners handling conveyancing in Sileby to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
I used Arc property Solicitors several years ago for my conveyancing in Sileby. I now require my papers but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Sileby I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sileby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
