I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Bawtry. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £150. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Skipton 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 Skipton 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.
Intending to buy a apartment in Bawtry. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bawtry lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

Builders have recommended to me a conveyancer and I've sought an estimate from them. It's almost £250 cheaper than my preferred Bawtry conveyancing practitioner. What's the catch?
Developers frequently have panels of property lawyers who are quick and who know the seller’s contract and conveyancing practitioner. As many developers offer an incentive to choose their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they want exchange in 28 days. The argument for not opting for the suggested lawyer is that they may prove hesitant to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should keep with your high street Bawtry conveyancer.
