Our son-in-law is buying a new build apartment in Beaconsfield with a home loan from Bank of Ireland. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

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 Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Beaconsfield costs more?

In short, leasehold conveyancing in Beaconsfield and Buckinghamshire usually involve extra due diligence compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, corresponding with the landlord about the service of required notices, procuring current service charge and management information, obtaining the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first entered into.

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Beaconsfield completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Beaconsfield is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Beaconsfield are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Beaconsfield you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Beaconsfield may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Should I be concerned that third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Beaconsfield conveyancing practice?

As with lots of service providers, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are numerous people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all suggest conveyancers to appoint. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some lenders specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the lender related work in your home move.
