Me and my fiance are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Cuckfield with a mortgage. We like our Cuckfield lawyer, but the lender advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel firms or retain our Cuckfield conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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 Cuckfield conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
