We are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Saltdean with a mortgage. We like our Saltdean lawyer, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to use one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or retain our Saltdean solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones 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. Another option that might be available is for your Saltdean conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
