My nephew is buying a newly built flat in Wakefield with a home loan from Lloyds. His lawyer 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 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 Lloyds 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. The form should be sent to the Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Is it worth updating the Land Registry information for the house?

You are not required to update the title for the property on the basis that you have the evidence required to demonstrate how the change of name occurred.

The purchaser’s solicitor should examine the land registry entries and require evidence by way of proof of the name change for example marriage documentation.
