We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Dolwyddelan conveyancing solicitors are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Skipton?

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Dolwyddelan. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £200. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the TSB 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 TSB 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.
