My husband and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Cuffley with a mortgage. We like our Cuffley conveyancer, but the bank says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to use one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or retain our Cuffley lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: 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 Cuffley conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
