I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in North Ferriby. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Soon after, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale 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 am planning on selling our home in North Ferriby and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in North Ferriby. We have lived in North Ferriby for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
