Our son-in-law is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Uttoxeter with a mortgage from Santander. 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 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 surveyor 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'm buying my first flat in Uttoxeter benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Uttoxeter is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Uttoxeter are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Uttoxeter you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Uttoxeter may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I have been informed by various estate agents that it should take up to two months for Uttoxeter conveyancing to complete.This was 3 ago. The draft contract was only forwarded to my conveyancing practitioner yesterday so now does it countdown?
Don't bank on moving on a set date until exchange of contracts takes place. Regardless of the assurances the people you are purchasing from or selling to make, or your mortgage broker makes don't count on them. More stress is caused to buyers and sellers by unfulfilled promises than any other issue when it comes to conveyancing in Uttoxeter.
