My god-son is buying a newly built flat in Billingshurst with a mortgage from . His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The document 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 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 conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Billingshurst completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Billingshurst. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Billingshurst

We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Billingshurst conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.

Do online conveyancing organisations do everything a local Billingshurst solicitor does or do I still need to retain a solicitor for the final stages for my conveyancing in Billingshurst?

If you choose an online conveyancer they should cover all the tasks your Billingshurst conveyancer will cover.
