My son-in-law is purchasing a house that has just been built in Grange Over Sands with a home loan from . His lawyer has advised him of 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 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 conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Grange Over Sands 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

Where copies can’t be found, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on your property.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Grange Over Sands. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Grange Over Sands - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Grange Over Sands Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? If a Grange Over Sands lease has less than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the value of the flat. Check with your bank that they are happy with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for 24 months in order to be legally able to extend the lease. It is important to be aware whether redecorating or some other major work is due shortly that will be shared between the leasehold owners and may well dramatically impact the level of the service costs or result in a specific invoice.
