My god-son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Waltham Cross with a home loan from Nationwide. His lawyer 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 Nationwide 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 Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Lloyds as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Waltham Cross. Do we need to select a nearby Waltham Cross solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Lloyds don't usually instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

My offer on a house in Waltham Cross has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Waltham Cross. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Waltham Cross conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with searches.
