My husband and I are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Swanland with a residential mortgage from National Westminster Bank.We use our Swanland conveyancing lawyer but National Westminster Bank says she’s not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a National Westminster Bank panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for a National Westminster Bank panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the National Westminster Bank approved list. 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank
