We decided to purchase a purpose built apartment in New Southgate with a residential mortgage from Leeds Building Society.We would like to retain our New Southgate conveyancing lawyer but Leeds Building Society informed us he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Leeds Building Society panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Leeds Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society
