You should have spent a little more time on reading before advising to waste money on a solicitor that will charge for every line s/he writes:

But in parallel, the account holder has written a letter to Santander to get access to the account.

To be clear, the letting firm aren't coming across as competent. Business accounts are often held by the company with certain staff listed as signatories/ The firm is still the account holder, but can't access it due to all the staff signatories leaving. With a bit more effort (at least if incorporated/some form of partnership/legal status) the *company* should be able to get access to their account.
