I am considering applying for a Aldermore mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Heacham with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, but Aldermore would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Heacham conveyancing practitioner is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
