I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in North Shields.

This is because they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act on their behalf in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked the Post Office to furnish me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?

You should ask the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for the Post Office in the past. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office.
