My fiance and I wish to acquire a 2 bedroom flat in Tilehurst with a mortgage from TSB.We use our Tilehurst conveyancing lawyer but TSB advised that he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a TSB panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the TSB approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB
