My fiance and I are purchasing a three room first floor flatin Aughton with a home loan from a bank. We have a lawyer in Aughton but our lender says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Aughton solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Aughton lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Aughton : 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
