We are intending to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Bowes Park with a mortgage. We have a Bowes Park lawyer, but the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Bowes Park conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This seems very unfair; can we not require that the mortgage company use our Bowes Park conveyancer ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer 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 Bowes Park conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
