We are purchasing a newly converted flat in Haddenham with a homeloan from Santander.We have a Haddenham conveyancing lawyer but Santander informed us his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Santander panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Santander use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Santander solicitor panel. Until recently, 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander
