My fiance and I decided to purchase a newbuild flat in Hetton Le Hole with a residential mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank.We have a Hetton Le Hole conveyancing practitioner but Lloyds TSB Bank informed us she’s not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Lloyds TSB Bank panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Lloyds TSB Bank use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Lloyds TSB Bank solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds TSB Bank
