Natwest and Conveyancing

Hi everyone!
I've recently had a cheeky offer accepted on a flat, as I thought they'd push me to offer something closer to the asking price I haven't lined up any solicitors. I've heard some lenders are very single minded about the solicitors lenders use, and I really don't want to instruct someone only to find Natwest do not consider them an acceptable firm. How would I even find out which firms Natwest have on their panel? I tried asking the young man I dealt with to get my API, but he told me I'd have to ask once I'd submitted a formal application.
I'm just worried that if I don't tell the EA who my solicitor is by the end of the week, they're going to think I'm a time waster and put the flat back on the market - there'll be other properties, but I doubt I'll be able to have such a cheeky offer accepted again on something that doesn't need gutting.

I found using some of the different conveyancing websites quite useful. Some of them ask you who the lender is, so you can be matched.
I don't think they publish a list....0 -
There is an on-line service called LenderPanel which enables buyers to check which firms are on specific lender panels. It does not look comprehensive but I just did a post code search and it showed a number of firms near me in NW London0
