Our god-son is buying a house that has just been built in Forest of Dean with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. His conveyancer 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 engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your preferred Forest of Dean conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
