We are planning to acquire a 3 bedroom apartment in Nuthall with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Nuthall solicitor, but the bank says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or retain our Nuthall property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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. Another option that might be available is for your Nuthall conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

The best person to deal with your concern is your conveyancer who will hopefully assess if they should be discussing with the lender, owner’s solicitors, selling agents or possibly all parties based on the circumstances your house move to date.
