Me and my partner are hoping to buy a four room first floor flatin Long Ashton with a home loan from a mortgage company. We like our lawyer in Long Ashton but our lender says he's not listed on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our bank panel solicitors or keep our Long Ashton solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Long Ashton lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage company home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Long Ashton : 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
