We decided to purchase a 3 bedroom flat in Cotgrave with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We like our Cotgrave conveyancing solicitor but Accord Mortgages Ltd informed us she’s not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Accord Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks 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 Accord Mortgages Ltd

I am purchasing my first flat in Cotgrave benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Do I need to be suspicious that brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Cotgrave conveyancing company?
As with many professional services, often referrals from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all suggest lawyers to use. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the lender aspect of your house move.
