You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Dawley and Lawley?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors should you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank and check if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Dawley and Lawley.
We previously chose conveyancers locally in Dawley and Lawley on the UBS solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional amount for handling the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by UBS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by UBS but by your Dawley and Lawley conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Dawley and Lawley off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
Our offer on a semi in Dawley and Lawley has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Dawley and Lawley. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Dawley and Lawley conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to press on with searches.
