My wife and I are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in East Hunsbury with a mortgage. We would like to retain our East Hunsbury conveyancer, however the mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or keep our East Hunsbury solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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 East Hunsbury conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
