My fiance and I decided to purchase a 3 bedroom apartment in Holbrook with a loan from TSB.We like our Holbrook conveyancing lawyer but TSB advised that his firm is not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a TSB panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that TSB use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the TSB solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks 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 TSB

My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Georgian property in Holbrook. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Nottingham Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Holbrook and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers.
