We are purchasing a newly converted flat in Brentwood with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank.We like our Brentwood conveyancing lawyer but Lloyds TSB Bank informed us she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Lloyds TSB Bank panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Lloyds TSB Bank panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Lloyds TSB Bank use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Lloyds TSB Bank solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds TSB Bank

Builders have recommended to me a conveyancing practitioner and I've sought a quote from them. They are nearly £250 cheaper than my local Brentwood solicitor. Should I use them?
Builders often have panels of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the builder's contract and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they want exchange in 28 days. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancer is that they may prove unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Brentwood conveyancing practitioner.
