My grandson is purchasing a newly built flat with a mortgage from Tesco Bank. His conveyancer 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 Tesco Bank 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 Tesco Bank 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 trying to get my ex-wife removed the mortgage deeds. Can Tesco Bank really insist on which solicitor I can or can not instruct?
You can use any solicitor you like but Tesco Bank then has the right to appoint a different solicitor to act for them at your expense. It might be more cost effective and quicker to instruct a lawyer who is on the Tesco Bank solicitors panel
Can I be sure that the solicitor on the Tesco Bank panel is any good?
seeking recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing
My brother and I have agreed a price on a flat I spoke to a conveyancer recommended by my dad and he advised instructing a law firm approved by Tesco Bank. The estate agent recommended two local firms so I asked Tesco Bank if the 2 suggested solicitors are approved, which they are not. Tesco Bank pointed out that either practice can fill out the appropriate forms to become approved. Do I (1) save myself the aggravation and use one of Tesco Bank 's conveyancing panel solicitors (2) Use the local solicitor and accept there may be delays etc as they go through the approval process.
