I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in The Ridgeway for our house purchase. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Bank of Ireland won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Lenders in the main restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that a law practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have decided to limit the amount of solicitor practices they allow to act for them. You should note that Bank of Ireland have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Bank of Ireland Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are mixed views about the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry reveal that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near The Ridgeway only perform a couple conveyances per annum.
