Our god-son is buying a house that has just been built in Sneinton with a mortgage from Santander. His conveyancer has said that there is 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 involved in the transaction. 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.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Sneinton last June yet the purchaser is Skype messaging every few hours to say her lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Following your sale your solicitor is committed to deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Where relevant, your conveyancer must also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Sneinton.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Sneinton?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Sneinton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
