My nephew is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Gaydon with a home loan from Santander. His conveyancer has advised him of 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 engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Santander 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 Santander conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My lawyer in Gaydon is not listed on the Birmingham Midshires Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Birmingham Midshires panel?

Your options are as follows:

1. Complete the purchase with your preferred Gaydon solicitors but Birmingham Midshires will need to retain a lawyer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total legal charges and cause frustration.
2. Get an alternative practitioner to act in the purchase, remembering to check they are Birmingham Midshires approved.
3. Persuade your Birmingham Midshires solicitor to seek to join the Birmingham Midshires panel

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Gaydon. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

I have been recommended by a few selling agents in Gaydon to choose a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your services over and above another?

We refuse to offer any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
