As far as I'm aware you can use your own solicitor (and valuer). But best to check with your provider first, they might have their own rules on this. J

I have used a couple of different providers for SIPP Commercial Property purchase schemes. In both instances the client was able to appoint their own solicitors. Interestingly, howewer, one company was happy to use a single solicitor to represent both purchaser & seller, whereas another SIPP provider insisted on appointing two solicitor firms to represent each party. On the basis of efficiency and cost, i'd recommend looking for a provider willing to use the single solicitor option.
