My husband and I are purchasing a 2 room housein Gunnislake with a loan from a bank. We have selected a conveyancer in Gunnislake but our lender inform us now that she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our lender panel solicitors or keep our Gunnislake conveyancer and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The lender home loan issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Gunnislake : 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
