Me and my partner are buying a three bedroom housein Belvedere with a mortgage from a bank. We have selected a conveyancer in Belvedere but our bank says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Belvedere conveyancer and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Belvedere lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage company home loan 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 open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Belvedere : 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
