we are a couple who wish to acquire a newly converted apartment in Pensysarn with a mortgage from Santander.We have a Pensysarn conveyancing solicitor but Santander advised that she’s not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Santander panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Santander use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Santander approved list. in the past, most banks 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander
