We are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Glan Conwy with a mortgage. We like our Glan Conwy conveyancer, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or continue with our Glan Conwy solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to demand that the mortgage company use our Glan Conwy conveyancer ?
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 Glan Conwy conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
