we are a couple who decided to purchase a purpose built flat in Wimborne Minster with a homeloan from Santander.We have a Wimborne Minster conveyancing solicitor but Santander advised that he's not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Santander panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Santander panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Santander approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander
