Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Godalming conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?

I am considering applying for a Aldermore mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Godalming with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, but Aldermore would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
We are aiming to move home in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Godalming. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your site.

We do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Godalming or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Godalming.
We had selected conveyancing lawyers based in Godalming on the UBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional charge for dealing with the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by UBS but by your Godalming solicitor. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Godalming is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
