We are buying a newbuild apartment in Hampstead Garden Suburb with a loan from Virgin Money.We would like to retain our Hampstead Garden Suburb conveyancing solicitor but Virgin Money informed us he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Virgin Money panel firm or retain our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. in the past, 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money

You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers.
