I am considering applying for a Bank of Ireland mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Rawcliffe with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, but Bank of Ireland would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

I was advised by a couple of local selling agents in Rawcliffe to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your lawyers ahead of a competitor’s?
