My husband and I are buying a four bedroom first floor flatin St Margarets with a mortgage from a mortgage company. We would like to retain our lawyer in St Margarets yet our mortgage company advise he's not approved on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our St Margarets solicitor and incur the extra legals for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in St Margarets : a mortgagee 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
