We are planning to acquire a 2 bedroom flat in Kirby Muxloe with a mortgage. We like our Kirby Muxloe lawyer, but the bank says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to select one of the bank panel firms or keep our Kirby Muxloe lawyer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We consider that this is inequitable; are we not able to demand that the lender use our Kirby Muxloe conveyancing practitioner ?
No, not really. 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. Another option that might be available is for your Kirby Muxloe conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
