Our grandson is buying a newly built flat in Abercynon with a mortgage from Virgin Money. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
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 Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
My lawyer in Abercynon is not on the Lloyds TSB Bank Approved Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Lloyds TSB Bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options available to you here include:

- Find an alternative solicitor to to deal with the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are Lloyds TSB Bank approved.
- Try to convince your Lloyds TSB Bank based solicitor to try to join the Lloyds TSB Bank panel

Please supply a car parking plan. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
