We are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Sale with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Sale solicitor, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to appoint one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or keep our Sale solicitor and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. 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. Another option that might be available is for your Sale conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
