Me and my fiance are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Eden Park with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Eden Park lawyer, however the bank says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to select one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or keep our Eden Park conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This feels very unfair; can we not demand that the lender use our Eden Park property lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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 Eden Park conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
