Me and my fiance are buying a 3 bedroom flat in Thurston with a mortgage. We have a Thurston solicitor, but the bank advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to use one of the bank panel solicitors or continue with our Thurston lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to demand that the mortgage company use our Thurston lawyer ?
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 Thurston conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
We note that you have a search directory listing firms on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Thurston?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Thurston.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
