Can you help? My Moreton conveyancer is advising me that he has toorder Moreton conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCsolicitor panel. These Moreton searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a mortgage company your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Moreton conveyancing searches.

We previously appointed solicitors locally in Moreton on the UBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional fee for handling the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by UBS but by your Moreton property lawyer. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will quote ’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 Moreton off the council. I have a mortgage offer with UBS. 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 UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.
