After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Gwernaffield. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Shortly after, the lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale 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.
