My mortgage broker requires my Claverley law firm’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have tried my local Claverley branch but they cant find it on their system.

We previously chose solicitors locally in Claverley on the UBS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate charge for dealing with the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by UBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by UBS but by your Claverley solicitor. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am buying a property in Claverley. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Co-operative have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Co-operative your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Co-operative where a lease does not meet these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Claverley.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Claverley on 30/4/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Santander and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Claverley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Claverley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Claverley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
