Our grandson is in the process of securing a new build apartment in West Kensington with a mortgage from Virgin Money. His lawyer 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 involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in West Kensington I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in West Kensington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I am in the process of buying my 1st house in West Kensington. Conveyancing lawyer has been instructed. The broker advised that a survey is not needed as the house is only fifteen years old.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence was built over a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. They will highlight any obvious issues and suggest additional investigation where appropriate. If there are any indications of material issues seek a full Building Survey from the beginning.
