we are a couple who intend to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Brynford with a homeloan from Bank of Ireland.We like our Brynford conveyancing practitioner but Bank of Ireland informed us her practice is not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Bank of Ireland panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Bank of Ireland panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Ireland use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you contact us we can investigate further with the relevant bank.

They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you.
