My wife and I are about to exchange buying a property in Bordon but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the owner of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Aldermore are not allowing this. Why were they involved?
Any lawyer being on the Aldermore approved list is required to advise Aldermore of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer 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 conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Bordon.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Lloyds as we intend to carry out alterations to our property in Bordon. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Bordon solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Lloyds do not ordinarily require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds list.
I have paid off my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Bordon conveyancer on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
