Until recently, most lenders 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.

You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your St Asaph conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
