My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Woodthorpe. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Now that you have exchanged you now have to find a conveyancing lawyer soon as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the transaction.

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Woodthorpe. My mortgage broker suggested a solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £200. A couple of days later, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money 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.

Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Woodthorpe.
