My wife and I are buying a 3 bedroom flat in Lincoln with a mortgage. We like our Lincoln conveyancer, but the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or keep our Lincoln lawyer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This seems very unfair; can we not require that the lender use our Lincoln 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. A further alternative is for your Lincoln conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
When does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Lincoln and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Lincoln you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Lincoln)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

The benefit of a high street Lincoln conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, deliver your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Lincoln know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were content that should trump using an unknown Lincoln conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
