I am purchasing residence in Skelmersdale. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor list. Can I still appoint my Skelmersdale conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?

You must have a conveyancer to complete the legal work required when you take out a loan to buy your home. The property lawyer will carry out all the necessary due diligence on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. One can appoint a Skelmersdale property lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the bank solicitor panel supplemental costs will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

My grandson is buying a house that has just been built in Skelmersdale with a home loan from Clydesdale. His lawyer 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 engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
