We are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Freshwater Bay with a loan from Nationwide Building Society.We have a Freshwater Bay conveyancing practitioner but Nationwide Building Society informed us he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Nationwide Building Society panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Nationwide Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Nationwide Building Society approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide Building Society
