My son-in-law is buying a newly built flat in Newcastle Emlyn with a mortgage from Clydesdale. His conveyancer 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 engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
As someone not used to the Newcastle Emlyn conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me for the home moving process in Newcastle Emlyn
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Newcastle Emlyn or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, property agent and on occasion a lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Newcastle Emlyn should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a potential adversary will attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
