Our son-in-law is purchasing a new build apartment in Tisbury with a mortgage from Co-operative. His conveyancer has advised him of 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Co-operative 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 Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Tisbury and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Tisbury conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Tisbury. We have lived in Tisbury for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
