Our son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Tooting with a home loan from Leeds Building Society. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving 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 transaction. 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.

Should I be concerned by brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Tooting conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often suggestions from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all suggest conveyancers to retain. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your own lawyer. You need to be aware that most banks specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
To what extent are Tooting conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to issue clear conveyancing figures?
Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are specific rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not intended as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, nevertheless, constitute the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Tooting or across England and Wales.
