My husband and I are purchasing a newly converted flat in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge with a loan from Barclays Direct.We would like to retain our Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge conveyancing lawyer but Barclays Direct informed us his firm is not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Barclays Direct panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Barclays Direct approved list. in the past, most banks 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
