We have to appoint one of the our lender panel solicitors or keep our Seaton Sluice solicitor and incur the extra legals for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Seaton Sluice : 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
