My offer was accepted on a house in Badsey on 11/8/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, 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.

However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be initiated by the buyer or by their solicitors which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Badsey.

If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s conveyancers may also commission an enviro report. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be made.
