My wife and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Poulton Le Fylde with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Poulton Le Fylde lawyer, but the lender says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or retain our Poulton Le Fylde conveyancer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We consider that this is inequitable; can we not demand that the lender use our Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing practitioner ?
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 lender’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 Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
