Our son-in-law is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Eastbourne with a mortgage from TSB. 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 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 TSB 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 TSB conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Eastbourne last February yet the purchaser is e-mailing daily complaining that her lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?

Where relevant, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Eastbourne.

I got the keys to my apartment on 1 March and the transaction details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Eastbourne expressed confidence that it would be concluded in less than a month. Are transfers in Eastbourne uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Eastbourne registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
