Our son is buying a new build apartment in Wilton with a mortgage from Nottingham. His solicitor 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 engaged in the purchase. 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 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 Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
My flat in Wilton is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does my lawyer have to be required to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently currently.
I am aiming to move house in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Wilton. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the property agent but this should only occur after the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Wilton or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Wilton.
Does a directory service exist listing Virgin Money panel solicitors in Wilton on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings open the public on the web. If you are looking for a Wilton solicitor on the Virgin Money please make the most of our facility.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Wilton bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Wilton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
The deeds to our home can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Wilton 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should be aware precisely where to find all the relevant paperwork so you may buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. Where duplicates can’t be located, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.

Being a leasehold owner I am liable for a maintenance fee for my property in Wilton. Due to redundancy and other issues I slipped behind with remittance. I negotiated a settlement plan but there remains two remaining in arrears.
I am under pressure to dispose of the property and I am nervous that this could jeopardize the sale if I have to settle the amount due now. I'd like to sell up and subsequently repay the arrears from the proceeds - is this practicable?
Do speak with the property lawyer handling your Wilton conveyancing but one option may be to arrange for the outstanding amount to be passed to the purchasers. The purchase price they pay would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then discharge the arrears once they are the owners.
