My fiance and I are hoping to buy a 3 bedroom flat in Hengoed with a loan from Bank of Ireland.We use our Hengoed conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Ireland says he's not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Bank of Ireland panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Ireland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland

Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their panels.
