We intend to purchase a purpose built apartment in Lyme Regis with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We have a Lyme Regis conveyancing solicitor but Accord Mortgages Ltd informed us his firm is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Accord Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd
