I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a local conveyancing solicitor in Ince in Makerfield?
You should check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you take up the "fee-free" incentive.
