My wife and I are buying a 3 bedroom flat in Woodborough with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Woodborough conveyancer, but the bank advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or retain our Woodborough conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We feel that this is inequitable; can we not insist that the bank use our Woodborough lawyer ?

Unfortunately,no. 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. A further alternative is for your Woodborough conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
