My god-son is buying a new build apartment in Wellesbourne with a mortgage from Lloyds. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form 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 Lloyds 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 Lloyds 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 step-mother sell her flat in Wellesbourne. Will the conveyancing solicitor order the energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?
After the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates remained a compulsory element of moving property. An energy performance certificate should be to hand prior to the property being advertised. It is not a task that lawyers normally arrange. Where you are using a Wellesbourne conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established local energy assessors
We are due to move property in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Wellesbourne. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this can only occur when the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. After that you should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Wellesbourne or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Wellesbourne.
Intending to buy a house in Wellesbourne. 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 Leeds Building Society 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 Wellesbourne solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I am buying a new build house in Wellesbourne benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
