we are a couple who intend to purchase a newly converted apartment in Halstead with a mortgage from Britannia.We would like to retain our Halstead conveyancing practitioner but Britannia says her practice is not on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Britannia panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Britannia use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Britannia conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Britannia
