My wife and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Corbridge with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Corbridge solicitor, but the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or retain our Corbridge conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; can we not require that the lender use our Corbridge lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer 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. Another option that might be available is for your Corbridge conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
We are purchasing a newly built duplex in Corbridge and my conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound to the bank to reveal incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
