My god-son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Badminton with a home loan from . His conveyancer has said that there is 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 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 conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
There is lots of here concerning conveyancing in Badminton but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Badminton
Do not opt for the lowest Badminton conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We are planning on selling our house in Badminton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Badminton conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Badminton. Having lived in Badminton for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
