My wife and I are purchasing a 3 bedroom flat in Torpoint with a mortgage. We like our Torpoint lawyer, but the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or retain our Torpoint solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel that this is unjust; are we not able to require that the bank use our Torpoint conveyancer ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you 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. A further alternative is for your Torpoint conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
