My son is purchasing a newly built flat in Denton with a mortgage from UBS. His lawyer has advised him of 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 UBS 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 UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

As is the case with many service providers, often input from family and friends can be very helpful. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all put forward lawyers to retain. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to select your own lawyer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
