Can I be sure that the Arnside conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Arnside seeking recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Arnside. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £175. Soon after, the property lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Skipton 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 Skipton 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.

As with lots of professional services, often input from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold.
