I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a Narberth based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers where you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Call the mortgage company and determine if they allow a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Narberth.
