Our nephew is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Langport with a home loan from RBS. His solicitor 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 document 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 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 RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Langport. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Soon after, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
About to purchase apartment in Langport. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Langport solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Langport
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Langport. I've stumble across a web site which seems to have the perfect solution If it is possible to get all this stuff done via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Langport from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Langport can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ conveyancers. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Arranging a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Langport home move. Where a duplicate share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. A minority of Langport leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. Many freeholders or managing agents in Langport levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Langport.
I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Langport, conveyancing having been completed November 1998. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Langport with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2082
With just 58 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £22,800 and £26,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
