My wife and I are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Eden Park with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Eden Park lawyer, but the bank says she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to use one of the mortgage company panel firms or continue with our Eden Park conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. 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. A further alternative is for your Eden Park conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
