Our son-in-law is purchasing a newly built flat in Bredon with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The form 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 Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My wife and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Bredon and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a home loan with Virgin Money.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Bredon. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an on account payment of £200. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the RBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the RBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am buying a new build house in Bredon with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
