I plan on buying a leasehold flat in Finchampstead. My property lawyer has never been on on the lender approved list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Finchampstead conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel?

You must have a property lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you require a mortgage to purchase your property. They will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could select a Finchampstead lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer appointed is not on the mortgage company approved list supplemental costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not historically sought membership they can do so.

My wife and I are about to complete on the purchase of a property in Finchampstead but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors of three thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Aldermore will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?

Any lawyer that is on a Aldermore conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to Aldermore of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Finchampstead.
