Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Sudbury completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Sudbury
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Sudbury conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
