we are a couple who are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom flat in Lee with a residential mortgage from National Westminster Bank.We have a Lee conveyancing solicitor but National Westminster Bank informed us he's not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a National Westminster Bank panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a National Westminster Bank panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that National Westminster Bank use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the National Westminster Bank conveyancing panel. in the past, 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank
