My nephew is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Bourne End with a mortgage from Lloyds. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?

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

My lender has recommended a law firm on their panel based in Bourne End but I would rather use a conveyancing lawyer in Bourne End or nearer to where I live. Are you able to assist?

three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Bourne End took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Bourne End

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Bourne End conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.

We are about to purchasing a flat in Bourne End. Conveyancing is not complete but we would like have the amount we are are buying for private from sites such as Nestoria. How do I make sure this is not noted?

The Land Registry as a matter of law obliged to reveal price sold information on a register of the title for residential properties countrywide which includes homes in Bourne End. The register of title is an open document, so HMLR would be breaking the law excluded certain homes such as the property in Bourne End.

In essence you can ask HMLR to hide the amount paid entry but the answer would be a No.
