My fiance and I wish to acquire a purpose built flat in Leominster with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society.We like our Leominster conveyancing solicitor but Nationwide Building Society says he's not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Nationwide Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Nationwide Building Society use our lawyer?

No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Nationwide Building Society conveyancing panel. 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide Building Society

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their panels.
