My god-son is purchasing a newly built flat in Whitmore with a home loan from Skipton. 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer 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 Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a high street conveyancing solicitor in Whitmore?

You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the mortgage company and see if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Whitmore.

is it true that all Whitmore solicitor firms on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

We previously chose conveyancers locally in Whitmore on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Whitmore conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.

I have instructed a Whitmore property lawyer having checked that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Whitmore postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Whitmore.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Whitmore?

Conveyancing - in Whitmore or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re intending to buy and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to fix the defects before you move in.
