Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings available on the web.

is it true that all Uppingham conveyancing solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be governed by the CLC.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Uppingham conveyancing solicitors have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Lloyds?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Lloyds conducted the survey? Have you informed Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I purchased a renovated Edwardian house in Uppingham. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Bank of Ireland to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Uppingham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Uppingham prior to appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to grant a loan on such a home.
