Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Rainford who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Yorkshire Building Society.

we are a couple who decided to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Rainford with a mortgage from Virgin Money.We have a Rainford conveyancing solicitor but Virgin Money says she’s not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Virgin Money panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Virgin Money panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money
