Me and my partner are purchasing a three room bungalowin Guiseley with a home loan from a mortgage company.

It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Guiseley conveyancer and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Until recently, most mortgage companies had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Guiseley : a mortgagee 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 your lender.
