My husband and I are buying a first floor flat in Groby. At the point of instructing our property lawyer, they told us that they were on all mainstream lender panels. The financial adviser contacted us just now to say that they don't seem to be on the Aldermore approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a new solicitor that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Aldermore selecting their own preferred lawyer.
When buying a property with mortgage finance it is normal for the buyer’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the solicitor has to meet. Some banks now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Aldermore to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Aldermore's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Groby solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the mix.
