My fiance and I intend to purchase a newly converted flat in Cardiff Bay with a residential mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We have a Cardiff Bay conveyancing lawyer but Accord Mortgages Ltd says his firm is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd
