Our son is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Hanham with a mortgage from Barclays. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Barclays 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 Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I am due to move property in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Hanham. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your property agent but this should only happen once the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. You can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Hanham or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Hanham.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Hanham. I have a mortgage agreed with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Hanham bank branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Hanham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Your lawyer must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Hanham.
