It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Norwich and Peterborough Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list.

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 Norwich and Peterborough Building Society
