Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Longlands

I am considering applying for a Santander mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Longlands with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Santander ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Santander conveyancing panel, but Santander would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
