We decided to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in New Barnet with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires.We use our New Barnet conveyancing practitioner but Birmingham Midshires informed us her practice is not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Birmingham Midshires panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Birmingham Midshires solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Birmingham Midshires

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we use their preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in New Barnet
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred New Barnet conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
