Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bakewell

My wife and I are buying a 1 bedroom flat in Bakewell with a mortgage. We like our Bakewell conveyancer, however the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to select one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Bakewell conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We consider that this is inequitable; are we not able to insist that the mortgage company use our Bakewell solicitor ?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you 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. Another option that might be available is for your Bakewell conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
