we are a couple who are hoping to buy a newly converted apartment in Cann Hall with a homeloan from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We would like to retain our Cann Hall conveyancing lawyer but Platform Home Loans Ltd says he's not on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved list. Until recently, 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 Platform Home Loans Ltd
