Me and my fiance are hoping to acquire a 1 bedroom apartment in Hedon with a mortgage. We like our Hedon solicitor, but the lender says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel firms or continue with our Hedon conveyancing practitioner 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 mortgage company use our Hedon property lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. 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 Hedon conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
