My fiance and I wish to acquire a purpose built flat in Armthorpe with a mortgage from Virgin Money.We have a Armthorpe conveyancing solicitor but Virgin Money informed us her practice is not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Virgin Money panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Virgin Money use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 Virgin Money

As with many service providers, often referrals from connections can be extremely useful or valuable.

On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the lender related work in your house move.
Am I better off to appoint a Armthorpe conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal work however her office is approximately 350kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Armthorpe conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign documents, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were content that should surpass using an unknown Armthorpe conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
