I am considering applying for a UBS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Alfriston with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for UBS ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but UBS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Alfriston
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Alfriston conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
