we are a couple who are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Llanfechain with a homeloan from Skipton Building Society.We use our Llanfechain conveyancing solicitor but Skipton Building Society informed us he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Skipton Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society
