My husband and I are hoping to buy a purpose built flat in Bessacarr with a homeloan from HSBC Bank.We would like to retain our Bessacarr conveyancing lawyer but HSBC Bank says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint a HSBC Bank panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for a HSBC Bank panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that HSBC Bank use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the HSBC Bank approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for HSBC Bank

How does conveyancing in Bessacarr differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bessacarr contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Bessacarr usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bessacarr or who has acted in the same development.
