Lincoln conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from HSBC directly.

My apartment in Lincoln is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my conveyancer have to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently currently.

The financial adviser has recommended their lawyer for our conveyancing in Lincoln - won’t it be easier to just use them?

It is not always the case and you are at liberty to instruct whichever lawyer of your choosing for your Lincoln conveyancing. A lawyer suggested by a 3rd party adviser may not necessarily be the right conveyancing practitioner, they may put forward their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your property lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
