The conveyancing fees for a leasehold property in Horfield is frequently higher as compared to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is due to the supplemental time necessary in corresponding with the landlord and management company to collate the information about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been discharged and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Horfield. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225. A couple of days later, the property lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging 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.
