Me and my partner are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Holme On Spalding Moor with a mortgage. We have a Holme On Spalding Moor lawyer, but the mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or keep our Holme On Spalding Moor property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer 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 Holme On Spalding Moor conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
We see that you have a search directory listing law firms on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Holme On Spalding Moor?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Holme On Spalding Moor.
