It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Benson conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

We decided to purchase a newly converted apartment in Benson with a mortgage from Santander.We like our Benson conveyancing practitioner but Santander informed us he's not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Santander panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a Santander panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies 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.
