Our god-son is buying a newly built flat in Dawley and Lawley with a mortgage from . His solicitor 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 engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the 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 conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

How does conveyancing in Dawley and Lawley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Dawley and Lawley approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Dawley and Lawley tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Dawley and Lawley or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Dawley and Lawley I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Dawley and Lawley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
My partner has suggested that I use his conveyancing solicitors in Dawley and Lawley. Should I use them?
There are no two ways about it the best way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to have guidance from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer that you are are thinking of instructing.
