Our nephew is purchasing a house that has just been built in Andover with a home loan from Leeds Building Society. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Andover. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Andover?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Andover. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
