Our grandson is buying a newly built flat in Royton with a home loan from Co-operative. 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 involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Co-operative 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 Co-operative 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 clueless as to conveyancing in Royton what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the home moving process in Royton
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Royton and elsewhere in Greater Manchester is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, property agent and sometimes a mortgage company. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Royton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Royton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Royton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
