we are a couple who are buying a newly converted apartment in Hadfield with a residential mortgage from Santander.We like our Hadfield conveyancing lawyer but Santander advised that she’s not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Santander panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Santander panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Santander use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Santander solicitor 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Hadfield. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Hadfield?

I had an offer accepted on a house in Hadfield on 7/11/2025, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Are Yorkshire BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
