My grandson is purchasing a newly built flat in Stocksbridge with a home loan from Bank of Ireland. 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 engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

How does conveyancing in Stocksbridge differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Stocksbridge approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Stocksbridge tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Stocksbridge or who has acted in the same development.

Not every individual in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
