My son is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Winchmore Hill with a mortgage from Aldermore. His conveyancer 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 engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Aldermore 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 Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I got the keys to my home on 13 May and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Winchmore Hill said it will be recorded in less than a month. Are titles in Winchmore Hill particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Winchmore Hill registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Winchmore Hill. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
