My wife and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Murton. At the time of instructing our lawyer, they assured us that they were on all major UK lender panels. The mortgage broker contacted us today to say that they are not on the Aldermore approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we simply find a different solicitor that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Aldermore appointing their own approved property lawyer.
Where you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the buyer’s lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancer has to satisfy. Some lenders now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should call Aldermore to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Aldermore's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Murton lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the equation.
