My wife and I have organised the release of further monies on our mortgage from TSB as we want to conduct renovations to our home in Balby. Do we need to select a high street Balby solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Balby. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Shortly after, the solicitor contacted me to say 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.
