My fiance and I decided to purchase a purpose built flat in Howden with a mortgage from Clydesdale.We use our Howden conveyancing solicitor but Clydesdale informed us her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Clydesdale panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Clydesdale panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Clydesdale use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Clydesdale approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale
