My husband and I are buying a newly converted apartment in Lower Sunbury with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society.We like our Lower Sunbury conveyancing practitioner but Barnsley Building Society says he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barnsley Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the Barnsley Building Society 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society

three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Lower Sunbury concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
