We are hoping to buy a newly converted apartment in Pangbourne with a homeloan from TSB.We use our Pangbourne conveyancing solicitor but TSB informed us her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a TSB panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for a TSB panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the TSB approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB
