I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Santander. I intend to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Pewsey. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would prefer to instruct a Pewsey based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank and explore if they make available a cash alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Pewsey.
