My son-in-law is buying a newly built flat in Kentish Town with a mortgage from UBS. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
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 UBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. 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.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as RBS, do Kentish Town conveyancing practitioners have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Does a directory service exist listing Santander panel conveyancers in Kentish Town on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings visible online. If you are in need of a Kentish Town lawyer on the Santander please make the most of our tool.
is it true that all Kentish Town solicitor practices on the Santander conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Santander conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
I have recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Kentish Town for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Kentish Town conveyancing specialists.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Kentish Town. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Kentish Town - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can a leaseholder make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Kentish Town conveyancing firm to assist?
Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Kentish Town conveyancing firm who can help.
