We are buying a newbuild flat in Barton Upon Humber with a homeloan from Aldermore.We have a Barton Upon Humber conveyancing practitioner but Aldermore advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Aldermore panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Aldermore panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore

You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
