My god-son is buying a new build apartment in Hanley with a mortgage from Nottingham. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Nottingham 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 Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Have purchased a a detached house in Hanley , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Hanley conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are dealt with.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Hanley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Hanley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hanley approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Hanley usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Hanley or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hanley is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Hanley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hanley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hanley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
