We are purchasing a newbuild flat in Portslade with a loan from Barnsley Building Society.We have a Portslade conveyancing solicitor but Barnsley Building Society advised that his firm is not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Barnsley Building Society panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 Barnsley Building Society
