Our son is buying a new build apartment in Thetford with a home loan from Nottingham. His conveyancer has said that there is 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 involved in the transaction. 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 surveyor 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 Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
We see that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Thetford?

I was recommended by a few selling agents in Thetford to select a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I wish to sublet my leasehold apartment in Thetford. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your last Thetford conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain consent via your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I invested in buying a 1st floor flat in Thetford, conveyancing was carried out in 2002. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Thetford with a long lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2088
With only 62 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
Should local authority permission be necessary to split a single dwelling into multiple flats in Thetford? This has taken place to a property opposite to my home in Thetford and was ignorant of the conversion until the works were complete.
Planning consent is necessary for splitting a single house in Thetford into flats but possibly not for reverting back to single dwelling-house so, simply put, yes.
