My lawyer in Boscastle has never been on on the Bank of Ireland Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Bank of Ireland approved list?

- Find a new practitioner to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Bank of Ireland approved.

As with many service providers, often referrals from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are many people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all put forward lawyers to select. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to select your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that some banks operate an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
