My son-in-law is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Rossington with a mortgage from Nottingham. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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 your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Rossington

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Rossington conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s became a compulsory part of selling a property. An EPC must be commissioned prior to the property being advertised.

If you are using a Rossington conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with reputable Rossington providers

My sealed bid on a semi in Rossington has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Rossington. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Rossington conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Rossington.
