Our son is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Standish with a mortgage from Principality. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?

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 Principality 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 Principality conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Standish. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Leeds Building Society be concerned?

Given that your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Standish.

My fiancee and I are spending time looking at houses in Standish and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this point? I am planning to take a home loan with Coventry BS.

It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Coventry BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Standish agreed to, the sellers do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Standish. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance going?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Standish conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Standish.

I need some fast conveyancing in Standish as I am faced with an ultimatum to sign on the dotted line within one month. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

If.Given you are are a cash purchaser you are at free not to have searches conducted although no lawyer would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Standish the following are examples of issues that can arise and therefore impact market value: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Fees, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...

I am purchasing my first flat in Standish with a loan from Barclays Direct. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am Googling for Standish competitive conveyancing fees. Can I be confident that all the Standish practices that are identified on your website are on the bank conveyancing panel?

The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices listed on our site have advised us that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific Standish conveyancing solicitor being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is incorrect.
