Me and my fiance are planning to purchase a 1 bedroom flat in Beddington South with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Beddington South conveyancer, however the lender says she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little choice but to instruct one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or keep our Beddington South conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This seems very unfair; can we not insist that the lender use our Beddington South conveyancer ?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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 Beddington South conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
