I am getting a mortgage offer from Santander. I hope to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Winterton. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?

We're in Winterton, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nottingham , and our lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Winterton I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Winterton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
