We are buying a purpose built flat in Bodelwyddan with a loan from Barclays Direct.We have a Bodelwyddan conveyancing lawyer but Barclays Direct informed us he's not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Barclays Direct panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Barclays Direct panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Barclays Direct approved list. Until recently, 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
