Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Ickenham conveyancing practitioners were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Clydesdale conducted the valuation? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Ickenham. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £150.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Coventry BS 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.
