We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Bank of Scotland solicitor panel. in the past, 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland
