My husband and I are hoping to buy a four room bungalowin Wolstanton with a mortgage from a lender. We like our solicitor in Wolstanton but our lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our bank panel solicitors or keep our Wolstanton conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The lender mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Wolstanton : 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
