My wife and I are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Dunchurch with a mortgage. We have a Dunchurch solicitor, but the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or keep our Dunchurch solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We regard this is unjust; are we not able to insist that the lender use our Dunchurch conveyancer ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer 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. Another option that might be available is for your Dunchurch conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
