Our son-in-law is purchasing a newly built flat in Thetford with a mortgage from HSBC. 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 HSBC conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer 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 HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I just bought a house at auction in Thetford. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Given that you are now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you must appoint a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are faced with a pending deadline in which to complete the transaction. All auction property should have a corresponding auction set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor requires. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal papers should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You should hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Can you point me to a directory of Yorkshire BS panel conveyancers in Thetford on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few lenders make their panel listings open the public online. If you are in need of a Thetford property lawyer on the Yorkshire BS please use our tool.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Thetford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Thetford conveyancing practitioner is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
I am planning on selling our home in Thetford and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Thetford lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Thetford. Having lived in Thetford for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Hoping to buy a property located in Thetford and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Thetford. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Thetford area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Thetford conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Thetford conveyancing firm) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you talk with several firms including non Thetford conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be of use:
-
How many lease extensions has the firm conducted in Thetford in the last year? Can they put you in touch with clients in Thetford who can give a testimonial?

Best to be warned whether redecorating or some other major work is coming up to be shared amongst the tenants and will materially increase the the maintenance costs or necessitate a one time payment. Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability? On the whole the outlay for major works tend not to be incorporated into the maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Thetford ask leaseholders to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger repairs or maintenance.
Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Thetford being on the bank conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our bank?
We do not recommend specific Thetford firms as the right Thetford conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Thetford knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. Before you appoint your lawyer we advise you to speak to two or three of the the firms listed to gain comfort as to which one is right for you..
