My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Shenley Church End. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the Aldermore approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing you should do is e-mail the lawyer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please call Aldermore who may be able to assist.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Shenley Church End. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Shenley Church End?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
My husband and I are in the process of viewing apartments in Shenley Church End and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with RBS.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with RBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
About to purchase flat in Shenley Church End.

I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

My partner and I are purchasing a ground floor flat in Shenley Church End. At the time of instructing our solicitor, we were told they were on all mainstream bank panels. Our financial adviser contacted us just now to say that they are not on the TSB approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we just pick a different lawyer that is on their approved list or should we cover the costs for separate representation, with TSB selecting their own preferred conveyancer.
If you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is conventional for the buyer’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer 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 criteria which the lawyer has to fulfill. Some building societies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact TSB 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 TSB's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Shenley Church End solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the equation.
