It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that The Royal Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland
