My fiance and I are buying a newly converted flat in Felpham with a mortgage from Barclays Direct.We would like to retain our Felpham conveyancing solicitor but Barclays Direct says she’s not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Barclays Direct panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Barclays Direct panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barclays Direct use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Barclays Direct approved list. in the past, most lenders 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Felpham. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Felpham building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Felpham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Your solicitor has to comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
