My grandson is in the process of securing a newly built flat in South Tottenham with a home loan from Leeds Building Society. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing 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 Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor 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 Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I am due to move house in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in South Tottenham. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the property agent but this can only happen after the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. You will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in South Tottenham or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in South Tottenham.
My wife and I purchasing a terrace house in South Tottenham. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to see if these alterations were previously refused?
Your conveyancer will review the registered title as conveyancing in South Tottenham can on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain alterations or need the permission of another owner. Many works need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
My offer was accepted on a property in South Tottenham on 25/9/2026, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Leeds Building Society and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Will my lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in South Tottenham.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in South Tottenham. Some people will acquire a property in South Tottenham, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in South Tottenham. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the vendor to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect reply. A buyer’s lawyers will also conduct an enviro search. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be made.
2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in South Tottenham completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in South Tottenham. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in South Tottenham especially if they are accustomed to such properties in South Tottenham.
