You should instruct a solicitor that is on the Santander panel. The simplest thing to do is call your preferred Darlington conveyancing lawyer to check if they are on the Santander panel. If they are not approved you have a number of choices available to you here:
- Proceed with your preferred Darlington solicitor but Santander will no doubt instruct a lawyer on their approved panel. This will result in additional charges and probable interruption.
- Get a new property lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the Santander conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to seek to join the lender panel.
