My son is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Gilberdyke with a home loan from Nationwide. His conveyancer has said that there is 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 Nationwide 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 Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Completed the sale of my flat in Gilberdyke last October yet the purchaser is SMS messaging every few hours complaining that his solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your sale your lawyer should forward the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your conveyancer should also confirm that the mortgage has been discharged to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion procedures specific conveyancing in Gilberdyke.

I am purchasing a property in Gilberdyke. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Skipton be concerned?
As your lender is Skipton your lawyer must follow the formal instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Skipton where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Gilberdyke.
We expect to receive a AIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Gilberdyke solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Gilberdyke solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.
My wife and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Gilberdyke and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Nationwide.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
