We are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Brynmawr with a mortgage. We have a Brynmawr solicitor, however the bank says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or continue with our Brynmawr conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. 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 Brynmawr conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
My apartment in Brynmawr is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does the conveyancing practitioner need to be required to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
