We had selected conveyancers with offices in Branston on the UBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for dealing with the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by UBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by UBS but by your Branston solicitor. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
We expect to receive a DIP from RBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Branston solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
