I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Chorleywood. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Not long after, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Santander 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 Santander 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Chorleywood is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Chorleywood are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
