My god-son is purchasing a house that has just been built in South London with a home loan from Nottingham. His solicitor has advised him of 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 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.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in South London? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any South London conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are duty bound to validate not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in your conveyancer ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to inform the appropriate authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
We are planning to move house in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in South London. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the property agent but this can only be done when the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you should advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in South London or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in South London.

I have paid off my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a South London conveyancer on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
How does conveyancing in South London differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in South London approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in South London tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in South London or who has acted in the same development.
