You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

On the basis that there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. If you are requiring mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many mortgage companies have specific requirements on this. For example for Halifax Loans as of 1/5/2026, the requirements read as follows :

Not if the person dealing is the borrower or a member of the borrower's immediate family. Your firm may act if a separate fee earner of no less standing or a partner in the firm acts for us.
