It is even conceivable that they would have conducted previoushomes in the same road. Therefore consider using a Woodcote Green conveyancing firm. Second, check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company.

After the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was left as a mandatory element of moving house. An energy assessment should be to hand before the property is advertised. It is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are using a Woodcote Green conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local assessors

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Woodcote Green on 29/9/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Are Aldermore entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
