We had chosen conveyancing lawyers based in Wareham on the UBS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further charge for the legal aspects of 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 and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by UBS but by your Wareham lawyer. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Coventry BS. Is it usual for Coventry BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Wareham is approved on their conveyancing panel? Coventry BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

The easiest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Wareham conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Wareham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Wareham approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Wareham tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wareham or who has acted in the same development.
