Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Swinton

My son is purchasing a newly built flat in Swinton with a mortgage from Barclays. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Barclays 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 Barclays 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 assisting my mother sell her property in Swinton. Does the conveyancer commission the energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to coordinate?

After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was kept a mandatory component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned prior to the property being advertised.

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Skipton where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Swinton.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Swinton. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Swinton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
