Me and my partner are hoping to acquire a 1 bedroom apartment in Barton Le Clay with a mortgage. We have a Barton Le Clay conveyancer, but the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have no option but to select one of the mortgage company panel firms or retain our Barton Le Clay lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?
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 bank’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 Barton Le Clay conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

It will still be necessary for you to hand over ID documents and there are still distinct benefits to using a locally based solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Barton Le Clay.
