My partner and I are intent on purchasing a maisonette in Gilberdyke. My Conveyancer is not listed on the lender approved list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Gilberdyke conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, UBS are being pedantic. The Gilberdyke solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
