My husband and I are buying a three room ground floor flatin Penshaw with a residential mortgage from a lender. We wish to instruct our conveyancer in Penshaw however our bank inform us now that she’s not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Penshaw conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The lender mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Penshaw : 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
