Our son-in-law is buying a house that has just been built in Rumney with a home loan from Aldermore. His solicitor has advised him of 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Aldermore 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 Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My fiance and I today become aware that one of the directors of the firm acting on the purchase conveyancing in Rumney is a relative of the owners that we are buying from. Is this acceptable?

On the basis that there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. If you are requiring a mortgage then the mortgage company may have a say as many lenders have specific instructions on this. For example for Leeds Building Society as of 20/4/2025, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Yes, provided that:

• a different person deals with the conveyance (i.e. not the borrower or a member of the borrower's immediate family);

• there is no conflict of interest and none arises during the transaction; and

• the Law Society guidelines are followed.
