we are a couple who wish to acquire a 3 bedroom flat in Cheddleton with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society.We like our Cheddleton conveyancing lawyer but Barnsley Building Society says her practice is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Barnsley Building Society panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society
