My husband and I have arranged the release of further monies on our mortgage from Yorkshire BS as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Caerwys. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Caerwys solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Caerwys. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A few days later, the property lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Nationwide 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 Nationwide 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.
