Apparently we need to choose one of the our lender panel firms or keep our Long Eaton solicitor and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Long Eaton lawyer?

Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Long Eaton : a mortgagee 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 your bank.
