Our grandson is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Somerset with a home loan from Santander. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The document 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 Santander 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 Santander conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Somerset for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Somerset conveyancing specialists.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Somerset ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders will not grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Somerset. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Somerset especially if they are familiar with such properties in Somerset.
