We are buying a purpose built apartment in Clacton On Sea with a residential mortgage from Bank of Scotland.We would like to retain our Clacton On Sea conveyancing practitioner but Bank of Scotland says she’s not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Bank of Scotland panel firm or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Bank of Scotland approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland
