We previously selected solicitors locally in Lickey End on the UBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by UBS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by UBS but by your Lickey End lawyer. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Can I be sure that the Lickey End conveyancing solicitor on the HSBC panel is any good?

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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
