My husband and I are intending to buy a 2 bedroom flat in Epworth with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Epworth lawyer, but the mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or keep our Epworth conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We consider that 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. Another option that might be available is for your Epworth conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
