My husband and I are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Goddington with a homeloan from Skipton Building Society.We like our Goddington conveyancing solicitor but Skipton Building Society advised that his firm is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Skipton Building Society panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Skipton Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the Skipton Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Goddington. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
