Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Melton Mowbray

My husband and I are intending to acquire a 3 bedroom flat in Melton Mowbray with a mortgage. We have a Melton Mowbray solicitor, however the bank advise he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to appoint one of the bank panel firms or retain our Melton Mowbray conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel that this is inequitable; are we not able to insist that the lender use our Melton Mowbray conveyancer ?

Unfortunately,no. 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 Melton Mowbray conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

My property lawyer in Melton Mowbray has never been on on the Barnsley Building Society Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Barnsley Building Society approved list?

Your options are as follows:

  1. Carry on with your existing Melton Mowbray lawyers but Barnsley Building Society will need to retain a conveyancer on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing charges and cause frustration.
  2. Find a new lawyer to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Barnsley Building Society panel
