My husband and I are hoping to buy a newbuild apartment in Thurrock with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We would like to retain our Thurrock conveyancing practitioner but Godiva Mortgages Ltd says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Godiva Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd
