I plan on purchasing a leasehold flat in Magor. My Solicitor is not on the mortgage company approved panel. Can I still appoint my Magor conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

- Get a new property lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to apply to join the bank panel
