We are buying a 1 bedroom flat in Chipping Campden with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Chipping Campden conveyancer, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel firms or retain our Chipping Campden conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to insist that the lender use our Chipping Campden solicitor ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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 Chipping Campden conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
I do hope you can help me. My Chipping Campden lawyer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toapply for Chipping Campden conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. These Chipping Campden searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Chipping Campden conveyancing searches.
