We intend to purchase a newbuild apartment in Undy with a loan from Aldermore.We use our Undy conveyancing solicitor but Aldermore informed us he's not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Aldermore panel solicitor 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?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel.

You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice.
