Me and my fiance are hoping to buy a 3 bedroom flat in Berwick Upon Tweed with a mortgage. We like our Berwick Upon Tweed conveyancer, however the lender advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or retain our Berwick Upon Tweed lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; are we not able to insist that the mortgage company use our Berwick Upon Tweed lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. 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 Berwick Upon Tweed conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
