Me and my wife are purchasing a flat in Gidea Park. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Can I still retain my Gidea Park conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
One will need to appoint a lawyer to complete the legal work required if you need a loan to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in order. One could appoint a Gidea Park conveyancer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the lender conveyancing panel additional charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your lawyer has not previously applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

I have paid off my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Gidea Park property lawyer on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Santander mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I had an offer accepted on a house in Gidea Park on 2/2/2026, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Clydesdale and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Are Clydesdale entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
