After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Wormwood Scrubs. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Shortly after, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Principality 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 Principality 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.

I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Chelsea Building Society to clarify?

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
