We are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Baglan with a homeloan from Halifax.We have a Baglan conveyancing lawyer but Halifax informed us he's not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Halifax panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Halifax approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Halifax
