My wife and I are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Buckley with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Buckley lawyer, but the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or keep our Buckley conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; can we not insist that the mortgage company use our Buckley property lawyer ?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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. Another option that might be available is for your Buckley conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a Buckley based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers where you want the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the lender and determine if they allow a monetary alternative.
