My husband and I wish to acquire a 2 bedroom flat in Ceredigion with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society.We would like to retain our Ceredigion conveyancing practitioner but Barnsley Building Society says her practice is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Barnsley Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barnsley Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 Barnsley Building Society
