Me and my partner are purchasing a four room maisonettein Rugby with a home loan from a lender. We have a solicitor in Rugby yet our mortgage company advise she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our bank panel solicitors or keep our Rugby solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The bank home loan issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Rugby : 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
