I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Much Wenlock. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £225. Soon after, the lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
