My god-son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Willenhall with a home loan from Yorkshire BS. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The document 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 Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

As far as conveyancing in Willenhall registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales.

Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
