What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Teignmouth? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. If you are unwilling to hand over ID verification documents, your solicitor can not take you on as a client.
Is it the case that all Teignmouth CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the UBS conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their panels.

We had instructed conveyancers with offices in Teignmouth on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Teignmouth property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
I am selling our home in Teignmouth and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Teignmouth. Having lived in Teignmouth for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Teignmouth I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Teignmouth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Teignmouth. I happened to chance upon a web site which looks to be the perfect offering If it is possible to get all the legals completed via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
