After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in New Southgate. My mortgage broker suggested a property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £150. A few days later, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Coventry BS 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 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.

You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check by asking your lawyers.
