Our god-son is buying a house that has just been built in Oakleigh Park with a mortgage from Nottingham. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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 the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Oakleigh Park. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

Your property agent will need to be advised as to your solicitor's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list).

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Principality will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Oakleigh Park.
