Me and my partner are purchasing a three bedroom housein Chew Magna with a residential mortgage from a bank. We have selected a conveyancer in Chew Magna yet our mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our bank panel firms or keep our Chew Magna solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The lender home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Chew Magna : a mortgagee 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
