My house in Red Lodge is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the solicitor need to be required to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Red Lodge
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Red Lodge conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures set by senior management.
