My fiance and I intend to purchase a newbuild apartment in Betws Y Coed with a residential mortgage from Leeds Building Society.We use our Betws Y Coed conveyancing practitioner but Leeds Building Society advised that she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and pay for a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society

Is this relevant for conveyancing in Betws Y Coed?
Unless a previous acquisition of the premises took place post 12 October 2013 you could take it that solicitors conducting conveyancing in Betws Y Coed to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
