After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Alsager. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Not long after, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Kent Reliance panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I'm buying my first flat in Alsager with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Alsager?
Conveyancing - in Alsager or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are intending to buy and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the seller to fix the problems prior to you move in.
