My grandson is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Knebworth with a mortgage from RBS. His solicitor has advised him of 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 involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS 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 RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I have justdiscovered that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Knebworth for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make 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 Knebworth conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing a new build house in Knebworth benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
As co-executor for the will of my grandmother I am selling a residence in Cardiff but live in Knebworth. My lawyer (approximately 300 miles from mehas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Knebworth to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Knebworth based
I am expecting to exchange on the purchase a house in Knebworth but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated recompense from the vendor of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet my bank will not permit this. Why were they notified?
Any conveyancing practitioner that is on the lender approved list is duty bound to inform the lender of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to your lender then they would have to discontinue acting for you and the bank.
