Our grandson is buying a house that has just been built in Colyers with a mortgage from TSB. 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 document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the TSB conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer 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 TSB conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
We note that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Colyers?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Colyers.
I have a renovated Georgian property in Colyers. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Colyers and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
Are there any apps to help search for a Colyers solicitor on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel? I am a keen cyclist and am prepared to travel upto 20kilometers to meet the solicitor.
Feel free to make use of the search on this website. Please pick a mortgage company and your location and you will see a number of Colyers conveyancing lawyers based on proximity. We have detailed some Colyers conveyancing firms at the bottom of this page and you can ring them to see whether they are on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we use their chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Colyers
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Colyers conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
Are the Colyers conveyancing lawyers identified as being on the lender conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by the lender?
Colyers law firm practices and firms carrying out conveyancing in Colyers themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from the lender directly.
