Me and my fiance are buying a 3 bedroom flat in Deepcar with a mortgage. We like our Deepcar solicitor, however the bank advise he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have no option but to select one of the lender panel firms or retain our Deepcar lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. 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. Another option that might be available is for your Deepcar conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
