After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Whitland. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner called 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?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS 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 downsizing from our property in Whitland and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Whitland lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Whitland. We have lived in Whitland for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
