Our son-in-law is buying a new build apartment in Fairwater with a home loan from Nationwide. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Nationwide 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 Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Fairwater. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this obligation is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

I have finally had an offer on an maisonette in Fairwater agreed to, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Fairwater. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain given your reluctance to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Fairwater conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Skipton and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Fairwater.
