Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Adamsdown who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society.

We are purchasing a 2 room flatin Adamsdown with a residential mortgage from a mortgage company. We have selected a solicitor in Adamsdown however our mortgage company inform us now that she’s not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our bank panel solicitors or keep our Adamsdown conveyancer and incur the extra legals for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Adamsdown lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The lender home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Adamsdown : 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
