My applicant would like to get separate representation and choose their own solicitor. Can they do this?

Yes. Where an applicant requests separate representation, we’ll determine who’ll be appointed to 
act for us, MPowered Mortgages. 
When selecting separate representation, you should make applicants aware that:
• they're liable for both sets of solicitor fees, disbursements, VAT etc.
• we’ll determine what firm will act for us, the Lender
• two sets of solicitors may increase the time it takes for the legal work to be completed
