Our son is purchasing a newly built flat in Stockbridge with a mortgage from . His solicitor has advised him of 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 involved 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 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.

Just acquired a detached house in Stockbridge , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my title? My Stockbridge conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Stockbridge is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third parties. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Stockbridge I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stockbridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
