You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Nag's Head. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £200. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society 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.
