We wish to acquire a 2 bedroom flat in Duston with a homeloan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We use our Duston conveyancing lawyer but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society advised that he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society
Are all Duston Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.
We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers locally in Duston on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate fee for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Duston conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

Me and my partner are buying a three bedroom bungalowin Duston with a loan from a bank. We would like to retain our lawyer in Duston but our lender inform us now that she’s not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Duston solicitor and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company home loan issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Duston : 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
