When will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Burscough and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?

I am considering applying for a UBS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Burscough with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for UBS ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the UBS conveyancing panel, but UBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
When it comes to lenders such as RBS, do Burscough solicitors have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Burscough conveyancing lawyers are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Clydesdale done the valuation? Have you advised Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Burscough. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
