We wish to acquire a newly converted flat in Pershore with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society.We have a Pershore conveyancing lawyer but Yorkshire Building Society informed us her practice is not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Yorkshire Building Society panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Yorkshire Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Yorkshire Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire Building Society
