My god-son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Tredegar with a home loan from Aldermore. His conveyancer has said that there is 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 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 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 Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Have completed on a a terraced house in Tredegar , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Tredegar conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Tredegar registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus registration formalities is not typically an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Tredegar with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Am I right to be suspicious about third parties that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Tredegar conveyancing firm?
As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward solicitors to appoint. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to appoint your own lawyer. You need to be aware that many lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your home move.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Tredegar from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Tredegar can be reduced where you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s approval? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Tredegar leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such alterations. Should you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer first. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Arranging a replacement share certificate can be a time consuming process and delays many a Tredegar conveyancing transaction. If a duplicate share is required, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible. Some Tredegar leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. Many landlords or managing agents in Tredegar levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Tredegar.
