Fairford is a unique place, where neighbourhood know-how helps. The relaxed pace of life has it’s attractions – but not when it comes to your home move. The solicitors that we work with combine wide Fairford know how with a professional, can doattitude that ensures everything runs smoothly.

Our god-son is buying a house that has just been built in Fairford with a mortgage from . His lawyer 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 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 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.

Do I have to pop into the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Fairford so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.

Nowadays approved lawyers for lenders conduct their work via the post, internet or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction no matter where you live in England or Wales. However you should check if you have the option of going to the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if needed.
