We are hoping to acquire a 2 bedroom apartment in Boreham with a mortgage. We like our Boreham conveyancer, however the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or retain our Boreham solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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 Boreham conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Boreham?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Boreham and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and even potentially your bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Boreham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Boreham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in November. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this clause principally exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of properties.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Aldermore. Is it usual for Aldermore to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Boreham is approved on their conveyancing panel? Aldermore have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
