After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Tedburn St Mary. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £150. A few days later, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Skipton 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 Skipton 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.

The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.
