Our grandson is purchasing a new build apartment in Caerwent with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?

The document 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 Leeds Building Society 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 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.

What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Caerwent?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Caerwent or throughout Monmouthshire is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, property agent and even potentially a mortgage company. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Caerwent should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

We are witnessing a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you must always trust your solicitor ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

My wife and I have a renovated Victorian property in Caerwent. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Caerwent and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

My partner has suggested that I use his conveyancers in Caerwent. Should I find my own property lawyer?
