Me and my partner are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Heckington with a mortgage. We have a Heckington conveyancer, however the bank advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to instruct one of the lender panel firms or keep our Heckington lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We regard this is inequitable; are we not able to insist that the bank use our Heckington property lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, 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. A further alternative is for your Heckington conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
