My husband and I are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Henbury with a residential mortgage from Birmingham Midshires.We use our Henbury conveyancing solicitor but Birmingham Midshires informed us he's not on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Birmingham Midshires panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Birmingham Midshires panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Birmingham Midshires use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the Birmingham Midshires approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Birmingham Midshires
