My wife and I are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in St Brides Major with a mortgage. We have a St Brides Major conveyancer, however the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel firms or keep our St Brides Major conveyancer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is unjust; are we not able to insist that the mortgage company use our St Brides Major lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel.

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 St Brides Major conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
