My wife and I are intent on purchasing a leasehold flat in Lydiate and Melling. My property lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to use my Lydiate and Melling conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?
You will need to have a solicitor to deal with the legal work required if you need a loan to purchase your property. The solicitor will carry out all the necessary legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can appoint a Lydiate and Melling conveyancer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the lawyer appointed is not on the bank solicitor panel further costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not historically sought membership they can do so.

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements.

I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a Lydiate and Melling based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers if you want the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the lender and explore if they make available a cash alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Lydiate and Melling.
