My husband and I are buying a newly converted flat in Duston with a loan from Barnsley Building Society.We would like to retain our Duston conveyancing solicitor but Barnsley Building Society says his firm is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Barnsley Building Society panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barnsley Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Barnsley Building Society approved list. Until recently, most banks 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society
