My husband and I are planning to purchase a four room apartmentin Chapeltown with a mortgage from a lender. We like our conveyancer in Chapeltown but our mortgage company advise he's not approved on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our bank panel solicitors or keep our Chapeltown conveyancer and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Chapeltown lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Chapeltown : 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
