I am obtaining a mortgage with Nat West. I hope to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Tring. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Our god-son is purchasing a new build apartment in Tring with a mortgage from Coventry BS. His conveyancer has said that there is 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 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 Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Just acquired a detached house in Tring , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my title? My Tring conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Tring registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Last February I purchased a leasehold house in Tring. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
