My husband and I are purchasing a studio flat in Maida Vale. When we first instructed conveyancer, they told us that they were on all major UK bank panels. The mortgage broker contacted us yesterday to say that they are not on the Aldermore approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just find a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or do we pay for dual representation, with Aldermore selecting their own approved lawyer.
Where you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancer has to meet. Some banks now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your conveyancer should contact Aldermore to find out 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 don't have to instruct a firm on Aldermore's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Maida Vale solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another solicitor into the equation.
