Me and my partner are hoping to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Blyth with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Blyth lawyer, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to use one of the bank panel solicitors or retain our Blyth property lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel that this is unjust; are we not able to demand that the bank use our Blyth solicitor ?

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 lender’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 Blyth conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Is this suitable for conveyancing in Blyth?

Unless a previous acquisition of the house completed after 12 October 2013 you could expect lawyers delivering conveyancing in Blyth to continue to propose a a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
