My god-son is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Bethesda with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His conveyancer 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 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 Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important number one tip you can impart about purchase conveyancing in Bethesda?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Bethesda and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes a mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Bethesda is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Bethesda completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
