Our grandson is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Carlton with a mortgage from Aldermore. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Aldermore 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 Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Carlton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Carlton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Carlton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Carlton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

My husband and I are one month into a residential purchase having been recommend to conveyancers by the selling agent to carry out the conveyancing in Carlton. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

They would have to be very bad to suggest changing them. Has the loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the new contact details and ensure the offer are re-issued. Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental charges and complications. That should be your first question of the new lawyers. Our search tool should assist you in finding a lender approved lawyer for your home move in Carlton
