Our financial adviser emailed today to say that they don't seem to be on the Aldermore approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Should we just pick a new conveyancing practitioner that is on their approved list or should we pay for dual representation, with Aldermore appointing their own preferred conveyancer.
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor 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 conditions which the solicitor has to fulfill. Some banks now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should contact Aldermore and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Aldermore's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Holton le Clay solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancer into the equation.
