We are buying a newbuild flat in Geddington with a mortgage from Halifax.We use our Geddington conveyancing practitioner but Halifax says her practice is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Halifax panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Halifax panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Halifax approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Halifax
