My son-in-law is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Castleton with a mortgage from . His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

My wife and I are selling our home in Castleton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Castleton lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Castleton.

Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Castleton?

Conveyancing - in Castleton or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the buying price down or asking the seller to remedy the problems prior to you complete your move.
