Our son is purchasing a new build apartment in Montgomery with a mortgage from Kent Reliance. His solicitor has advised him of 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 purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
We are buying a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Montgomery who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for HSBC . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Montgomery.
Is there a search tool that I can utilise to check that the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Montgomery is on the bank’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Yorkshire Building Society thus spending £187.00 plus VAT in further legal fees.

My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Montgomery and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Montgomery. Having lived in Montgomery for six years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Montgomery differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Montgomery contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Montgomery usually purchase the site, 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Montgomery or who has acted in the same development.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Montgomery
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Montgomery conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
