Me and my partner are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Temple Mills with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Temple Mills conveyancer, but the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel firms or retain our Temple Mills and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This seems 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.

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 Temple Mills conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
