My god-son is buying a newly built flat in Spalding with a mortgage from Aldermore. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form 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 Aldermore 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 Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Spalding is more expensive?
The conveyancing charges on a leasehold premises in Spalding is inevitably higher as compared to a freehold residence. This is because there is an amount of additional investigations necessary in communicating with the landlord and management company to collate the evidence concerning whether the rent and maintenance charges have been discharged and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

I bought my house on 14 November and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Spalding advises it should be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Spalding uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Spalding registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

You need to be pragmatic about timescales. Conveyancing in Spalding usually takes about two months. This timeframe is not due to property lawyer being slow and deliberately delay matters. The amount of money involved in purchasing any residence is so high, the buyer’s lawyer having to carry out a whole range of enquiries, searches and further checks to protect the buyer and their lender (if there is to be a home loan) from expensive, avoidable problems. Conveyancing in Spalding involves getting information from an array of different parties, including other conveyancer, local councils, private companies, building societies and banks. Many of these are well organised. Others are not. It is worth noting that, it doesn't matter how quickly your conveyancer do their work, if the people you are buying from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can move forward until they are.
