My husband and I are purchasing a 3 bedroom flat in New Invention with a mortgage. We would like to retain our New Invention lawyer, however the mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or continue with our New Invention lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We regard this is unjust; are we not able to require that the mortgage company use our New Invention 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. A further alternative is for your New Invention conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? The prefered form of lease structure is where the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this arrangement the lessees have control and although a managing agent is frequently employed if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.

The contractual price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then pay the arrears once they are the owners.
