My fiance and I are hoping to acquire a property in Nannerch and are in fact using a Nannerch conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our conveyancer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Aldermore have this evening contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Nannerch solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?
Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender 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 don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Nannerch solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need chancel insurance when acquiring a house in Nannerch? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property living in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for repairs to the chancel within the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Nannerch?
Unless a previous acquisition of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Nannerch to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
How does conveyancing in Nannerch differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Nannerch come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Nannerch usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Nannerch or who has acted in the same development.
I'm remortgaging my primary home to a BTL mortgage with TSB and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on further house. The area we are looking at is Nannerch. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and tie in the two deals?
Make use of our comparison tool on this site to be sure that the solicitors are on the appropriate lender panels.
