Me and my partner are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Shadwell with a mortgage. We like our Shadwell conveyancer, but the mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or continue with our Shadwell property lawyer and pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We feel that this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer 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 Shadwell conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
