We are planning to purchase a four room housein Blackheath with a residential mortgage from a mortgage company. We wish to instruct our solicitor in Blackheath yet our bank advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our lender panel firms or stay with our Blackheath conveyancer and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Blackheath lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The bank home loan issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Blackheath : a mortgagee 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 your lender.
