My grandson is purchasing a house that has just been built in Earlestown with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving 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 transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My apartment in Earlestown is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does my lawyer have to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Kent Reliance 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 requirements fairly frequently in recent years.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Earlestown 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

Gone are the days when you need to hold title deeds to establish that you are the registered proprietor of land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Is there anything unique about your site and other web based conveyancing solicitors for conveyancing in Earlestown?

At this site secure an accurate quote from a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer that understands the issues for your conveyancing in Earlestown. Unlike many estate agents and many comparison sites we are not in the business of charging firms a commission if you appoint them for your conveyancing in Earlestown

I have noted on numerous online forums that before selecting a conveyancing lawyer they need approved by your lender. It happens to be my first home move but I have an AIP from Santander and I already have a high street conveyancing lawyer in Earlestown on standby. Does HSBC insist on an approved conveyancer to be instructed? Does a list of approved solicitors even exist for my conveyancing in Earlestown?

You need to use a solicitor that is on the HSBC panel. Simply telephone your chosen Earlestown conveyancing solicitor and ask if they are on the HSBC panel. If they are not on the panel you have a number of choices available to you here:

• Complete the purchase with your existing Earlestown conveyancer but HSBC will need to appoint a solicitor from their approved list. This will result in additional fees together with potential interruption.
• Appoint a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
• Convince your solicitor to pull out all the stops to join the HSBC conveyancing panel.
