Mortgage Companies ordinarily imposes restrictions either the category or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, some have reduced the amount of solicitor practices they use to represent them. You should note that Santander have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Santander Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are mixed opinions about the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Tunstall only execute one or two conveyances per annum.

I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Tunstall solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Tunstall conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to press on with searches.
