Having been referred to your service we were going to go ahead with a conveyancing solicitor in Peak District found on your site but stumbled across alternative fee calculations via the web look cheaper – why is this?

We are purchasing a newly converted apartment in Peak District with a loan from Skipton Building Society.We have a Peak District conveyancing practitioner but Skipton Building Society informed us she’s not on their approved list of firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Skipton Building Society panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Skipton Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Skipton Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society
