My fiance and I are purchasing a newbuild flat in Ashton Under Lyne with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank.We have a Ashton Under Lyne conveyancing solicitor but Lloyds TSB Bank says her practice is not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Lloyds TSB Bank panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Lloyds TSB Bank panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Lloyds TSB Bank use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Lloyds TSB Bank conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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 Lloyds TSB Bank
