I recently had an offer accepted on a house in North Baddesley. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £175. Not long after, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
