My husband and I are buying a garden flat in Burbage. At the time of instructing our lawyer, they said that they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. The financial adviser emailed today to advise that they don't appear to be on the Bank of Ireland approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we simply pick a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or should we pay for separate representation, with Bank of Ireland selecting their own preferred property lawyer.

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancer has to meet. Some mortgage companies now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should call Bank of Ireland to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Bank of Ireland's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Burbage lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another solicitor into the mix.
