My husband and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom first floor flatin Banwell with a loan from a lender. We have selected a conveyancer in Banwell yet our lender says he's not approved on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our bank panel firms or stay with our Banwell conveyancer and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Banwell lawyer?

No, not really. The bank home loan 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 banks had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Banwell : 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 mortgage company.
