My nephew is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Kington with a mortgage from Lloyds. 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Lloyds 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 Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

As someone not used to conveyancing in Kington what’s your top tip you can give me for the legal transfer of property in Kington

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Kington and elsewhere in Hertfordshire is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, property agent and on occasion your lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Kington is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a potential adversary may attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
