I am considering applying for a Bank of Ireland mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Lamorbey with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Bank of Ireland will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

We previously selected solicitors locally in Lamorbey on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate charge for the legal aspects of the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Coventry BS but by your Lamorbey property lawyer. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
