We are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Burton upon Stather with a mortgage. We have a Burton upon Stather lawyer, however the lender says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Burton upon Stather conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; can we not insist that the lender use our Burton upon Stather property lawyer ?
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. Another option that might be available is for your Burton upon Stather conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Burton upon Stather conveyancer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
