My husband and I are buying a newly converted apartment in Cleobury Mortimer with a homeloan from Santander.We like our Cleobury Mortimer conveyancing lawyer but Santander advised that she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Santander panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Santander panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the Santander approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander
