Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hyde

Me and my fiance are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Hyde with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Hyde solicitor, however the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to instruct one of the bank panel solicitors or retain our Hyde lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We consider that 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 lender’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 Hyde conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
