We are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Warwickshire with a mortgage. We like our Warwickshire lawyer, but the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to use one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or retain our Warwickshire conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; are we not able to require that the lender use our Warwickshire property lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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 Warwickshire conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
