Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Knowle

My wife and I are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Knowle with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Knowle lawyer, however the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or keep our Knowle conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This feels very unfair; can we not insist that the bank use our Knowle solicitor ?

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 bank’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 Knowle conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
