My fiance and I are hoping to buy a 1 bedroom flat in New Cross with a loan from Bank of Ireland.We use our New Cross conveyancing practitioner but Bank of Ireland says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Bank of Ireland panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. in the past, 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 Bank of Ireland
