At what point will exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Peterborough and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Peterborough you are invited in to sign the paperwork.

The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone.

We decided to purchase a purpose built flat in Peterborough with a mortgage from Aldermore.We like our Peterborough conveyancing solicitor but Aldermore says she’s not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Aldermore panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore
