My husband and I are hoping to acquire a 3 bedroom flat in Clophill with a mortgage. We like our Clophill lawyer, but the lender says she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little choice but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or keep our Clophill and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. Your mortgage offer 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. Another option that might be available is for your Clophill conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
