Our son is purchasing a new build apartment in Wadhurst with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in receiving 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 involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Having invested time scouring online forums for a recommended lawyer in Wadhurst, many say that I must instruct a CQS assured lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?
Wadhurst Conveyancing Quality Scheme law firms have been granted accreditation by the law Society The Law Society introduced CQS to promote high standards in the home buying process. CQS enables buyers and sellers to recognise solicitor firms that provide a quality residential conveyancing. Wadhurst is one of locations in England and Wales in which accredited firms are located. The conveyancing scheme requires practices to undergo a strict assessment, compulsory training, self-reporting, random audits and yearly assessments in order to maintain CQS status. It is available to solicitors and not licensed conveyancers and has the support of the Building Societies Association.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Wadhurst and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wadhurst. Having lived in Wadhurst for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
About to purchase a new build flat in Wadhurst. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Wadhurst
-
Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in Wadhurst on May bank holiday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the purchase price needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the buyer and owner’s conveyancer and at present this can only occur on a working day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
