My fiance and I decided to purchase a newly converted apartment in Alford with a residential mortgage from Alliance & Leicester .We have a Alford conveyancing practitioner but Alliance & Leicester informed us her practice is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Alliance & Leicester panel firm or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Alliance & Leicester use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Alliance & Leicester approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester
