We are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom apartment in Abergavenny with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Abergavenny conveyancer, but the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel firms or continue with our Abergavenny solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We feel that this is unjust; can we not require that the lender use our Abergavenny solicitor ?
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 Abergavenny conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Abergavenny and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The solicitor is obliged to clarify with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the CLC.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Abergavenny. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Abergavenny property lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
