We intend to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Greasby with a residential mortgage from Leeds Building Society.We use our Greasby conveyancing lawyer but Leeds Building Society says he's not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Leeds Building Society panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and pay for a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Leeds Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society
I currently have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Greasby. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform RBS?
You must advise RBS in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel lawyer.
My offer was accepted on a property in Greasby on 8/7/2026, valuation was booked 2 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.
