After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Silverdale. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Aldermore 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 Aldermore 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.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Silverdale
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Silverdale conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
