We are hoping to purchase a 3 bedroom apartment in Maltby with a mortgage. We have a Maltby conveyancer, but the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Maltby conveyancer and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We feel that this is unjust; are we not able to insist that the bank use our Maltby conveyancing practitioner ?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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 Maltby conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
Our Maltby lawyer has identified a difference between the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action legitimate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
