My nephew is buying a new build apartment in Stockwood with a mortgage from Coventry BS. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing 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 purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

The solicitors handling our conveyancing in Stockwood has sent papers to review that reveal that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not currently recorded at HMLR?
Whilst most properties in Stockwood are now registered with the Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Stockwood that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Stockwood property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Stockwood conveyancing practitioners should be able to handle such matters but where uncertainty reigns the standard proposition nowadays appears to be for the seller’s conveyancer to address the registration formalities first and then sell - this will have a domino effect to result in a drawn-out conveyancing.
