After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Bolsover. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £200. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner 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.
