Me and my partner are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Sherburn In Elmet with a mortgage. We like our Sherburn In Elmet conveyancer, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to select one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or retain our Sherburn In Elmet lawyer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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. A further alternative is for your Sherburn In Elmet conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
