The final balance that is needed will be payable shortly before completion.

My husband and I are acquiring a garden flat in Welton. At the time of instructing our conveyancer, they told us that they were on all major UK bank panels. Our financial adviser called yesterday to say that they don't seem to be on the UBS approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we just pick a different solicitor that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with UBS appointing their own approved solicitor.
When acquiring a property with mortgage finance it is usual for the buyer’s solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the lawyer has to satisfy. Some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your conveyancer should call UBS to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on UBS's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Welton lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
