We are hoping to buy a newbuild flat in Tamworth with a residential mortgage from The Mortgage Works.We use our Tamworth conveyancing lawyer but The Mortgage Works advised that she’s not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that The Mortgage Works use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the The Mortgage Works approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 The Mortgage Works

I am purchasing my first flat in Tamworth benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with Skipton Building Society. Is this normal?.
