    The best form of lease structure is where the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders.

My fiance and I are hoping to buy a 2 room apartmentin Tewkesbury with a mortgage from a lender. We wish to instruct our conveyancer in Tewkesbury but our mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our mortgage company panel firms or stay with our Tewkesbury solicitor and incur the extra legals for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage company mortgage issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Tewkesbury : 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
