We had instructed solicitors based in Willesden on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate fee for handling the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Willesden solicitor. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

I currently have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Willesden. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?

Yorkshire BS must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. You need not do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel firm.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Willesden on 9/6/2026, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Are Aldermore entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue a mortgage 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Willesden is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Willesden are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Willesden you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Willesden may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
