You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with.

The estate agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list).

Santander will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Santander will send the offer to you and your lawyers.
