My husband and I are buying a 3 bedroom flat in Stockbridge Village with a mortgage. We have a Stockbridge Village solicitor, but the bank says she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have no option but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or retain our Stockbridge Village solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you 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. Another option that might be available is for your Stockbridge Village conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this.

Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Stockbridge Village surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

You can agree a lesser deposit. Most sellers will agree to a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
