My grandson is buying a new build apartment in Brighton with a mortgage from Yorkshire BS. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving 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 Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Brighton. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission the energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was maintained a required component of selling a property. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Brighton conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established Brighton assessors
I am due to move property in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Brighton. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the property agent but this can only be done once the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Brighton or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Brighton.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Brighton. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Soon after, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may affect a commercial site in Brighton?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Brighton will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Brighton. The search result sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Brighton.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Brighton it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately can result in delays to Brighton commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Brighton.
