My son is purchasing a house that has just been built in Berkhamsted with a mortgage from RBS. 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS 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 RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Myself and my husband have just had an offer accepted on a apartment and had meeting on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to selecting a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will incur an additional charge of £200. This is because they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked HSBC to supply me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

Ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Another option is to use our search tool and we should be able to identify a conveyancer in Berkhamsted on the approved list for HSBC.
