My friend's mother is a conveyancing practitioner. I am hopeful that I can be offered friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Potswood?

Do contrast pricing. Do use our search tool on this site. The amounts may vary but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is the case with most professions.

I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a Potswood based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the chances are that give you one of their panel conveyancers where you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Call the lender and check if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Potswood.

Is it the case that all Potswood solicitor firms on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the CLC.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Potswood conveyancing solicitors were chosen. How long does it take for UBS to forward the offer to the property lawyer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have UBS done the survey? Have you informed UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

Barclays have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a property in Potswood has been agreed to, now what?

Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Barclays or the financial adviser and finalise any outstanding paperwork. Barclays will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Potswood.
