All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Liskeard on 27/11/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer appointed, so all that was missing 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?
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 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.
Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Liskeard has been agreed to, what happens next?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Barclays or your broker and finalise any relevant documentation. Barclays will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Barclays will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Liskeard.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Liskeard I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Liskeard for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
