We decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Haydon Bridge with a residential mortgage from Leeds Building Society.We use our Haydon Bridge conveyancing solicitor but Leeds Building Society informed us her practice is not on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Leeds Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Leeds Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies 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 Leeds Building Society
