My lawyer in Thorpe Hesley has never been on on the Aldermore Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my family solicitor even though they are not on the Aldermore panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Thorpe Hesley lawyers but Aldermore will need to retain a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total legal fees and result in delays.
- Get a new practitioner to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Aldermore panel
I am purchasing a house and the conveyancer has referenced Chancel Repair for which the property could be obligated to contribute to given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has recommended insurance. Is this strictly required for conveyancing in Thorpe Hesley

How does conveyancing in Thorpe Hesley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Thorpe Hesley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Thorpe Hesley tend to purchase the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Thorpe Hesley or who has acted in the same development.
