My husband and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Primrose Hill with a mortgage. We like our Primrose Hill solicitor, however the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or keep our Primrose Hill property lawyer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We feel that this is inequitable; are we not able to require that the bank use our Primrose Hill property lawyer ?

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 Primrose Hill conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Primrose Hill)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
