My husband and I are purchasing a studio flat in Corby. When we first instructed conveyancing practitioner, we were told they were on all major UK mortgage company panels. The financial adviser contacted us just now to advise that they are not on the Aldermore approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we simply find a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their approved list or should we pay for dual representation, with Aldermore selecting their own approved conveyancer.

When acquiring a property with mortgage finance it is normal for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancer has to satisfy. Some banks now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should call Aldermore and see 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 are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Aldermore's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Corby lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancer into the mix.
