Having sold my house in Pentre Halkyn last January but my buyer keeps e-mailing every few hours to say his solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

My husband and I wish to acquire a purpose built apartment in Pentre Halkyn with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society.We would like to retain our Pentre Halkyn conveyancing solicitor but Barnsley Building Society advised that she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Barnsley Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies 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 Barnsley Building Society
