We have to appoint one of the our bank panel solicitors or stay with our Sawbridgeworth conveyancer and incur the extra legals for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Sawbridgeworth lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage company home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Sawbridgeworth : 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
