Me and my fiance are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Petersfield with a mortgage. We like our Petersfield lawyer, but the bank says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or retain our Petersfield lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; can we not require that the mortgage company use our Petersfield conveyancing practitioner ?

No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders 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. Another option that might be available is for your Petersfield conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
