My fiance and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in The Meadows with a residential mortgage from Alliance & Leicester .We have a The Meadows conveyancing practitioner but Alliance & Leicester informed us his firm is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Alliance & Leicester panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Alliance & Leicester conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester
