My lawyer in Melton Constable is not on the Aldermore Solicitor Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Aldermore list of approved lawyers?

The limited options available to you here include:

1. Complete the purchase with your existing Melton Constable lawyers but Aldermore will need to instruct a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees as well as result in frustration.
2. Get an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are Aldermore approved.
3. Persuade your Aldermore based solicitor to attempt to join the Aldermore panel

I purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Melton Constable. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Coventry Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Melton Constable and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

We refuse to offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
