We decided to purchase a purpose built flat in Langstone with a homeloan from Skipton Building Society.We use our Langstone conveyancing solicitor but Skipton Building Society advised that his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Skipton Building Society panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Skipton Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society
