we are a couple who are purchasing a newly converted apartment in Eastleigh with a residential mortgage from Bank of Scotland.We would like to retain our Eastleigh conveyancing solicitor but Bank of Scotland says her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the Bank of Scotland approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms 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 Bank of Scotland
