Dual representation?

Hi All
Very excited as I just heard that our case has been agreed (subject to valuation) with Abbey/Santander. My solicitor isn't on their panel. I'd love to stick with my solicitor and would even be willing to pay the £275 fee to do this, but I wondered whether dual representation would mean that the process would be much slower and drawn out. Any experience with this? Thanks very much.

It adds a complication, but you are clearly happy with your solicitor and presumably their service standards.I am a Mortgage Broker

Well, I decided in the end to use someone from their panel. Just don't want anything more to slow the already slow process down.0
