Aldermore Solicitor Panel

When buying a house with a mortgage, you need to make sure you use a conveyancer approved by your lender. This means that if you are taking out an Aldermore mortgage, you need a solicitor on the Aldermore solicitor panel. Failing to do this is likely to cause complications and delays, as well as incurring extra expense.

Why do you need a conveyancer on the Aldermore Solicitor panel?

Choosing a solicitor approved by your lender is important. If you use a conveyancer who is not on the lender’s panel, the lender will need to instruct their own legal team to carry out due diligence work on their behalf. You will generally be required to pay for this, meaning you will have two sets of legal fees.

The lender’s legal team may work at a slower pace and not prioritise urgent matters, meaning you could face delays.

The alternative would be to switch solicitors. This will also mean a longer time taken to reach the exchange of contracts and extra expense.

At Lockings, we are able to represent both you and Aldermore. This means we are trusted by them to carry out all necessary due diligence work and to report to them on the legal title and other property issues. They will send your mortgage offer directly to us as soon as it is available.

When it is time to complete your purchase, we will be able to order your mortgage advance from them to be sent to us.

How do Lockings Solicitors move you faster?

We have a reputation for moving our clients quickly. We do this by keeping in close touch with the other parties, including estate agents, your seller’s solicitor and, if you are tying in a sale, your buyer’s solicitor.

We will ensure we know what stage the other parties have reached and whether any information is outstanding. If we are waiting for a document, we will follow up regularly to ensure nothing is forgotten. By working in this way, we are generally able to reduce the time taken to complete so that it is below the national average.

If you are tying in a sale, we recommend speaking to us now, so that we can let you have the initial paperwork to complete. This means that as soon as you have a buyer in place, we will be in a position to send out the contract package.

How do I get started with a property purchase?

If you are looking for somewhere to buy, we can deal with the administrative side of starting your purchase now. There are forms to fill in, and by doing this now, we will be able to start work as soon as we receive the contract papers from your seller.

You can give our details to the estate agents when requested. Once your offer is accepted and you finalise your mortgage application, you should also pass our details to the lender. This will enable them to send us your mortgage offer as soon as it is issued.
