We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Lanchester conveyancing lawyers have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Lanchester. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £200. Not long after, the property lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Principality 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 Principality 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 was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nottingham. Is it usual for Nottingham to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Lanchester is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nottingham have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
