I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Pewsey. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Shortly after, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say 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.

Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Pewsey?
Pewsey conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes often necessitates the purchaser’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address such questions most will be content to assist. They may levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the charge is not strictly payable. In reality one has no choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.

I purchased a flat in Pewsey last 7/10/2025 and to date it is still not registered with HM Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my property lawyer told me that it may take twelve months to complete the registration formalities. I have contacted the Land Registry directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Do I need to be concerned?
It is your conveyancing practitioner that you should turn to here in order to satisfy any concerns which have been raised as part of the registration formalities for your Pewsey property.
