My grandson is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Snodland with a mortgage from Principality. His solicitor has advised him of 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 engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Principality 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 Principality conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Do conveyancers ask for an advanced payment for my conveyancing in Snodland?
If you are buying a property in Snodland your solicitor will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is payable against the total price then this should be needed immediately prior to contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed should be transferred shortly before completion.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one reason for delay in Snodland conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Snodland.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Snodland ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to issue a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

I was advised by a number of estate agents in Snodland to select a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your site over and above another?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
