Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Ainsdale conveyancing practitioners are instructed. How long does it take for Skipton to issue the offer to the lawyer?

I had an offer accepted on a property in Ainsdale on 16/9/2026, valuation was booked five days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Santander and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Are Santander entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
