My husband and I are planning to acquire a 2 bedroom flat in Resolven with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Resolven lawyer, however the bank advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or retain our Resolven solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We consider that this is inequitable; can we not require that the bank use our Resolven lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. 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. Another option that might be available is for your Resolven conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

These are generally termed personal search providers and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. Nevertheless, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their information from the local authoritative source.
