we are a couple who are purchasing a newly converted flat in Manchester with a loan from Clydesdale.We have a Manchester conveyancing practitioner but Clydesdale says her practice is not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Clydesdale panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Clydesdale panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Clydesdale use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Clydesdale approved list. Until recently, 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. 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale
