First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with UBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
