Me and my fiance are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Leaves Green with a mortgage. We like our Leaves Green conveyancer, but the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or continue with our Leaves Green solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We consider that this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. 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. A further alternative is for your Leaves Green conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
