My god-son is buying a new build apartment in Prestbury with a mortgage from Coventry BS. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving 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 Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
At what point will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Prestbury and am I required to be at the solicitors office?

Me and my brother purchased a renovated Victorian property in Prestbury. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Nottingham Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Prestbury and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

You will want to find out as much as possible about the company managing the building as they will either make your life much simpler or much more difficult. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are often at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to practical issues like the cleanliness of the communal areas. Enquire of prospective neighbours what they think of them. In conclusion, investigate as to the dates that the service fees are due to the managing agents and precisely how they are spending the funds.
