My husband and I are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Pendlebury with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires.We would like to retain our Pendlebury conveyancing solicitor but Birmingham Midshires says her practice is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Birmingham Midshires panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay 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 mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Birmingham Midshires conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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 Birmingham Midshires
