We are purchasing a purpose built flat in Cannington with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society.We have a Cannington conveyancing lawyer but Nationwide Building Society says she’s not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Nationwide Building Society panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Nationwide Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide Building Society
