Why not? Absolutely nothing to do with them.
As long as the new solicitor is acceptable to your lender then yes.
BUT, take care your existing solicitor will charge you for any work he has already carried out.
Theoretically, yes, the borrower can change solicitor at any time and the lender can’t stop this. However, you should make sure that the new solicitor is satisfactory to the lender ( if the solicitor is to act on behalf of the lender also).Some lenders will not allow a firm with less than three partners. Also, lenders seem to be whittlling down their panels of solicitors so the new solicitor may have to move swiftly to ensure they are on the lender’s panel.
