My wife and I are hoping to buy a 1 bedroom apartment in Alperton with a mortgage. We like our Alperton lawyer, however the bank advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel firms or keep our Alperton property lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders 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 Alperton conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
