In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Selston? Is this really necessary?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. If you are unwilling to supply identification documents, your solicitor would not be able to accept instructions from you.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers based in Selston on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for handling the Nottingham mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Selston conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Intending to buy a house in Selston. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Selston solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Selston on 14/5/2026, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to UBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Are UBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
