We like our lawyer in Ellesmere Port yet our lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our bank panel solicitors or stay with our Ellesmere Port conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Ellesmere Port lawyer?
Unfortunately,no.

Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
