We are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Lunt with a mortgage. We like our Lunt solicitor, but the lender advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or retain our Lunt conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We consider that this is inequitable; are we not able to demand that the mortgage company use our Lunt conveyancing practitioner ?
Unfortunately,no. 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. Another option that might be available is for your Lunt conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
