We are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom flat in Corsham with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We like our Corsham conveyancing lawyer but The Royal Bank of Scotland says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that The Royal Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland
