Me and my partner are planning to acquire a 2 bedroom flat in Kettering with a mortgage. We have a Kettering lawyer, but the lender says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel firms or keep our Kettering property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you 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 Kettering conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer who will be doing your property ownership legalities in Kettering.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a file reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Kettering should be the figure that you end up paying.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Kettering

It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Kettering conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
