My husband and I are planning to purchase a 2 room apartmentin Tufnell Park with a mortgage from a lender. We like our solicitor in Tufnell Park however our mortgage company says she’s not approved on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our lender panel solicitors or keep our Tufnell Park conveyancer and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Tufnell Park lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage company mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Tufnell Park : a mortgagee 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
