We are purchasing a purpose built apartment in Shawbury with a residential mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We have a Shawbury conveyancing lawyer but Godiva Mortgages Ltd says she’s not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel firm or retain our local solicitor and pay for a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved list. Until recently, most banks 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd
