My fiance and I are hoping to buy a three room bungalowin Battle with a home loan from a mortgage company. We wish to instruct our lawyer in Battle but our lender advise he's not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our mortgage company panel firms or keep our Battle conveyancer and incur the extra legals for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Battle : a mortgagee 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
