You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions.

We are buying a newly converted apartment in Criccieth with a homeloan from Coventry Building Society.We have a Criccieth conveyancing solicitor but Coventry Building Society advised that she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Coventry Building Society panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Coventry Building Society
