My god-son is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Dereham with a home loan from Barclays. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving 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 engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Barclays conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor 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 Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Dereham. My lender is Accord Mortgages
Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 14/9/2025, the requirements read as follows :
We previously selected solicitors located in Dereham on the UBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate amount for dealing with the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by UBS but by your Dereham conveyancer. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I'm in the process of looking at flats in Dereham and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this point? I intend to finance via a home loan with Leeds Building Society.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are seeking a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Planning on purchasing a house in Dereham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Dereham conveyancer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
