We are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Finsbury with a mortgage. We have a Finsbury lawyer, however the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have no option but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or continue with our Finsbury conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is unjust; can we not require that the mortgage company use our Finsbury conveyancing practitioner ?
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. Another option that might be available is for your Finsbury conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
