My partner and I have arranged the release of further monies on our mortgage from TSB as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Heckmondwike. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Heckmondwike solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
TSB do not ordinarily appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB conveyancing panel.
