My husband and I decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Newtown with a homeloan from Barnsley Building Society.We would like to retain our Newtown conveyancing lawyer but Barnsley Building Society informed us she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 Barnsley Building Society
