We are intending to buy a 3 bedroom apartment in Wragby with a mortgage. We like our Wragby solicitor, but the lender advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or continue with our Wragby property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. This feels very unfair; can we not insist that the bank use our Wragby conveyancing practitioner ?
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. A further alternative is for your Wragby conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
