My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Bank of Ireland as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Farnham Royal. Are we obliged to appoint a nearby Farnham Royal solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Intending to buy a apartment in Farnham Royal.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Farnham Royal solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

Banks ordinarily imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Farnham Royal property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
