My grandson is purchasing a new build apartment in Corston with a home loan from UBS. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
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 UBS 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 UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Corston. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Corston relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
We are buying a apartment in Corston. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we will need to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Corston. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Corston?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Corston. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I have been advised by my lawyer that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Corston?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I'm buying a new build house in Corston with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it will impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
