My fiance and I are purchasing a newbuild flat in Balsall Heath with a residential mortgage from Barclays Direct.We use our Balsall Heath conveyancing practitioner but Barclays Direct advised that his firm is not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Barclays Direct panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Barclays Direct approved list. in the past, 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
