My husband and I intend to purchase a purpose built apartment in Ladbroke Grove with a homeloan from Barnsley Building Society.We use our Ladbroke Grove conveyancing practitioner but Barnsley Building Society advised that his firm is not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Barnsley Building Society panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barnsley Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 Barnsley Building Society

You can instruct a property lawyer now so that the solicitor can open the ledger so they can commence the ID checks etc. Once you wish them to start work they will seek a deposit normally approximately £200. That should normally be once you have the mortgage offer and valuation report, but if you wish to speed the process you can start the ball rolling quicker even though you may be risking some money.
