After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Woodhall Spa. My mortgage broker suggested a property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland 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.
