My fiance and I are buying a purpose built apartment in Silsoe with a loan from TSB.We would like to retain our Silsoe conveyancing practitioner but TSB advised that he's not listed on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a TSB panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a TSB panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that TSB use our lawyer?

No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the TSB approved list. in the past, most lenders 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
