we are a couple who are buying a newly converted flat in Crowborough with a homeloan from Barclays .We use our Crowborough conveyancing lawyer but Barclays informed us she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Barclays panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Barclays panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Barclays approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays

I'm refinancing my current property to a BTL mortgage with Lloyds TSB Bank and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on a second house. The location we are looking at is Crowborough. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and tie in the two deals?
Do use our comparison tool on this page to be sure that the conveyancers are on the appropriate lender panels. On the basis that they are the solicitor should be able to connect the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you solicitor and specify your expectations and requirements.
Our conveyancing in Crowborough is set to complete this Friday, but the sellers I am purchasing from wishes to vacate the next day at midday. Can I agree to this?
Where you are having a mortgage then your conveyancer will require that you have vacant possession on Friday - the mortgage company will require it.
