We are buying a newly converted apartment in Ogmore By Sea with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We use our Ogmore By Sea conveyancing lawyer but Platform Home Loans Ltd informed us he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd solicitor panel. in the past, most banks 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd

I currently have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Ogmore By Sea. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?
