My husband and I are planning to purchase a 2 room first floor flatin Brewood with a mortgage from a lender. We have a lawyer in Brewood however our mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our mortgage company panel firms or keep our Brewood conveyancer and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Brewood lawyer?
No, not really. The bank home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Brewood : 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
