No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders 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.

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 Norwich and Peterborough Building Society
