After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in West Cross. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Soon after, the lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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.
