My husband and I are planning to acquire a 2 bedroom apartment in Helsby with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Helsby conveyancer, but the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or retain our Helsby property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. Your mortgage offer 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 Helsby conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
