We are buying a 1 bedroom flat in Pinner Green with a mortgage. We like our Pinner Green conveyancer, however the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to instruct one of the lender panel firms or keep our Pinner Green property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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 Pinner Green conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
