My husband and I are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Bradford On Avon with a residential mortgage from Barclays Direct.We use our Bradford On Avon conveyancing practitioner but Barclays Direct informed us he's not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Barclays Direct panel solicitor or retain our local 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 Barclays Direct use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Barclays Direct solicitor panel. in the past, 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
