Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is expelled from the Aldermore Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Rawcliffe?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Rawcliffe bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Rawcliffe conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The solicitor has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
