My husband and I are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Gwaelod Y Garth with a mortgage. We like our Gwaelod Y Garth lawyer, however the bank advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel firms or continue with our Gwaelod Y Garth conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This feels very unfair; are we not able to insist that the bank use our Gwaelod Y Garth 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. A further alternative is for your Gwaelod Y Garth conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
