We wish to acquire a 3 bedroom flat in Stamford Hill with a homeloan from TSB.We would like to retain our Stamford Hill conveyancing solicitor but TSB informed us he's not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a TSB panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the TSB approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB

My folks cant seem to find their Stamford Hill land registry title on the site. They have a vague memory back in the 60’s when they bought the bungalow there were complications with Stamford Hill not being recognised in some systems.
Almost all premises in Stamford Hill should be revealed. Have you endevoured to search to simply the postcode. Ordinarily it should reveal all the premises inside that postcode. Where registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address could still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s mortgage company.
