My wife and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Pinner Green with a mortgage. We like our Pinner Green solicitor, however the bank says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or keep our Pinner Green conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you 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. A further alternative is for your Pinner Green conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Pinner Green conveyancing specialists.
