Our grandson is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Stamford Bridge with a mortgage from Co-operative. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving 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 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 surveyor 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 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.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Stamford Bridge. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Stamford Bridge solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

There are only 72 years left on my flat in Stamford Bridge. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord. On the whole an enquiry agent would be helpful to try and locate and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Stamford Bridge.

You should be aware if it is no more than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the property. Check with your lender that they are happy with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out what this will be. For most Stamford Bridgelease extensions you would be be obliged to have been the owner of the residence for a couple of years in order to be legally able to extend the lease. Does the lease include onerous restrictions? Is the freehold owned collectively by the tenants?
