My husband and I are purchasing a newly converted flat in Coleford with a residential mortgage from National Westminster Bank.We would like to retain our Coleford conveyancing lawyer but National Westminster Bank says his firm is not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a National Westminster Bank panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a National Westminster Bank panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that National Westminster Bank use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the National Westminster Bank solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank
