Our god-son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Moulton with a mortgage from Lloyds. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

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 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.

Are the Moulton conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the RBS conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by RBS?

Moulton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from RBS directly.

Will our conveyancer be raising questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Moulton.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Moulton. There are those who buy a property in Moulton, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Moulton. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the seller to determine whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s solicitors should also order an enviro search. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be made.
