I am considering applying for a Aldermore mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Bolsover with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Aldermore will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

How does conveyancing in Bolsover differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bolsover come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Bolsover typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Bolsover or who has acted in the same development.
